    im 19, and i was homless for much of last year, so i know what its like. im definitely not better, by any means. i would actually prefer to be homeless. but my current legal status prevents me from doing so. i give a quarter here or there to the homeless people on the subway. but after they leave, i shake my head and wonder why they would stay in one place. being homeless gives you the freedom to go wherever you want. i hitchhiked quite a bit when i was homeless

    peace

    Things don't make a person better than a person without.

    no. there is nothing separating someone who is homeless from someone who is not other than circumstances. whatever you've got, it can be taken from you.

    I don't think I could survive on the street. so maybe most homeless people have something I don't?

    Of course not.

    I would be semi-nomadic without a real home at the moment, if it where up to me. Just to try new things.

    I have $283,000.00 worth of property ,2 homes.. I consider myself homeless because I have no love left for the land I live on.... whats claimed to be the united states of america.. This is not the land that I love and my homes could catch fire and be engulfed with flames right now. as long as my dog and I are cool. I dont give a fuck..

    I'd definitely say I'm luckier...but I'm sure any random homeless person has had more life-experience then I could ever dream of

    yes, dad had the life experience of leaving his family for my underage mom, and drinking himself to death

    i'm not wishing for any of that . . .

    [don't romanticize a thing which is most often a tragedy]

    I'm assuming he was homeless?

    I was simply stating that life on the streets is definitely shit compared to any pathetic problems we not-so-homeless people would ever have

    yes he was

    most homeless people i have met [and i have known many, possibly subconsciously looking for dad] have been alcoholic, drug-addicted, schizophrenic, etc.

    i have been one or two of those myself, and am generally only about a hundred bucks from homelessless at any given time [including today]

    be happy you have a roof and only "pathetic" problems, be sad that the wealthiest nation on earth cannot do a thing to help those down on their luck or just plain out of it

    The only people I consider myself superior to are the greedy, vicious, bankers, politicians and powermongers who have no soul. My soul is pathetic but I still have a bit of one.

    Money
    Comfort in the cage
    Illusions of title
    Rank in the Rat Race
    Concepts of class
    Status of servitude...Are no markers of superiority. Having these ideals and being kept conditioned in them is not luck at all or of better circumstance.
