Do you believe you’re representative of the population of homeless people (ie are their origin stories similar in nature to yours)?
Also, what life circumstances led to you sharing a motel room with a person who, out of nowhere, rushed at people with a knife? Had this person done similar acts prior to you / have they since / was there a dispute / were there drugs?
- xwdv 6y agoIf you talk to homeless people a lot of them have interesting origin stories.
- happyconcepts 6y agoThanks for your question. I do not believe I am a representative example of the homeless population. But I would venture to say I represent the effects of a culturally biased view of the entire homeless population. A bias that inaccurately portrays homeless as somehow 'deserving' of their miserable situation(s). Drugs, mental issues, stupidity ... after all I have seen out here these are not typical root causes of homelessness. They are typical consequences of being homeless. So i was renting a bedroom in a 2bd apartment. It wasnt a motel. I had been living there several months and there were no known issues although I could tell we likely were not to become friends due to differences in value systems. I suspect he has lied successfully many, many, many times in the past.
