Nature doesn't deal everyone the same hand. Society says we should all be treated equally. The laws of nature are absolute. The laws of society are made up, and exist only in our minds. The mentally ill and chronically homeless really bring out the dissonance between these two systems. We can exasperate ourselves and flounder about helplessly. We can leave these broken people on the street. We can round them up and put them in a junkyard, out of sight and out of mind. Or we can pretend we can fix them up and get them working again, even though we can't. About once a week or so the solutionists of HN go through this routine.
