It's hard for some people to have empathy for those who are less advantaged then them. People don't see all the things that went right for them, and so they imagine that everyone is equally fortunate, and thus anyone who isn't doing as well is the victim of their own mistakes. The truth is we are a product of our opportunities and circumstances in ways that are scary to contemplate.
I don't know that this guy will ever be redeemed in the public's eye, but at least he looks at homeless people as individuals and people worth talking to, instead of as human garbage to be hidden away, unworthy of kindness and decency, as some do. And he helped get some wifi into homeless shelters. It makes me think about what I can do.
