"it is their own fault that homeless people are homeless"

Giving money to homeless people was always controversial but is it ethically acceptable to ignore a human being who needs help ? Opinions on this matter vary. The following text is about my personal opinion and views on this subject.

Every once in a while we walk past homeless people sitting in front of stores in town. Without even thinking twice we walk past them, minding our own business.I think thats because most of the people think they are in this mess because its their own fault. They didn´t study or work so they ended up on the streets. But thats not the case for all homeless individuals.Most of them where war veterans who where despised for going to war and never got a foothold after that. But thats another subject so im not taking this any further. A lot of homeless people are also mentally ill and cant do anything to change their situation or they are children.Yes, its rare but there are also a lot of homeless children who ran away from home or got kicked out. There are various reasons as to why children run away from home and end up on the streets. One could argue that it´s their own fault because they never looked for help but not every family is perfect, and not every child is happy even when it looks like it.However there are a lot of non profit organisations whose sole purpose are to help homeless people but not every homeless individual is seeking help. They build shelters for them, provide working places or simply help them finding a workplace.This is why i think donating to charities is a good thing if you want to help homeless people. If you´re too sceptical and think homeless people would spend the money you give them for drugs or alcohol, donations are the way to go, or simply offer them something to eat or a coffee.Still, there are not enough people who think like this so i don´t think that the situation is going to change anytime soon. Homeless people are still going to be patronized and despised.In my opinion the government should help homeless people instead of funding pointless wars in middle east countries but that´s another subject for another time.
