In your humble opinion, are the majority of the homeless people responsible for the situation they are in? IOW: do they deserve to be homeless, because it is their personal failure or do they not, because they are a victim of the circumstances (the reasons they are where they are are largely out of their control)? Have you ever talked to homeless people? Are they really just “bad people” and “will never change” or are they hardworking individuals who’ve just had a punch by life that they were unable to stand after?
They are responsible for their situation and they are victims of circumstance. These are not mutually exclusive.
Yeah, but how much of it is which?
I think you’re really asking who is to blame. And I’m not so sure that’s the same question, or even a useful question.
It depends on the individual and it depends on the circumstances.
There’s no “one size fits all” answer to this.
