I think in that case, being in San Francisco, if you stopped to engage every crazy person you saw, it's all you'd be doing with your life and would probably end of covered in shit or stabbed. Engaging crazies in the homeless capitol of the world is dangerous and likely pointless.

I know it's fantasy, but I think that if you're studying mindfulness and compassion that's at least the direction you might want to be heading.
