I have great sympathy for people who live on the streets, it’s very traumatic and they end up with ptsd very quickly
beggars is different, most beggars aren’t homeless
Before I moved to downtown Detroit I had a plan for interacting with the homeless people. It was intense there.
If I had time I would listen to their story. Every homeless person or beggar got a dollar or two. If there was a problem I would try to help them out. Anyone sleeping on a warm grill on the sidewalk got some money. Anyone going through a garbage can got money.
Con artists from the suburbs got nothing
I also taught my husband to do that.
We never had a problem downtown. Husband’s colleagues would get harassed, but not him.
By the time I moved city locals were calling me sister.
But not once in over 6 years did the Nation of Islam guy handing out pamphlets ever acknowledge my existence …lol
This is so sad. It’s like he had a moment of clarity .
He’s angry at society ( and he has cause to be )
but he can only take it out on individuals, but then realises individuals are the only people who can help him .
Doesn’t mean you should put up with it tho, he needs professional help.
I reckon more likely trying to manipulate me cause I’m pretty sure he insulted me for not helping him.
he doesn’t sound rational
