Don't go so far as to say "fuck being a good person", but understand that not everyone deserves unlimited trust and good faith. --which is I think what most of your comment is expressing. Your story is the topic of one of the most famous West End /Broadway songs of recent years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6h1eBEmY6U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6h1eBEmY6U Even if you find that life's not fair, it Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it If you always take it on the chin and wear it Nothing will change Even if you're little you can do a lot, you Mustn't let a little thing like little stop you If you sit around and let them get on top, you Might as well be saying you think that it's OK > homeless people asking for money ... i see them as predators who use negative emotions to try and take my positive feelings away. Or they are asking for money who using asking for money as a way to get money. Your "predator" description fits panhandlers with manipulative stories, but not all "homeless people asking for money".
