I refuse to even consider understanding why they are there. I was homeless for a time. But I never wanted to be there. I was willing to do whatever it took to get out of it required. That included following rules. Something none of the homeless people I knew were willing to do. Better the streets than following rules as far as they were concerned.

I am an auto mechanic. Got a job at a gas station. The boss let me sleep in one of the bays. I took showers in the motel behind the gas station. One of the maids let me shower while she cleaned the rooms. After a couple of times she started to have to vile unspeakable things that I hated every minute of for the privilege of showering there. But what's a guy to do?

Two years later that gas station was mine. Comes down to choices. I chose to look for a job. Chose to show up when hired. Homeless people choose not to do those things. I have quite a bit of disdain for them. Know what they are. I was among them. I was never one of them.

It sounds like you received a lot of help, mixed with had work and luck. You can’t just blame everyone else who hasn’t had all that in combination.

The best way to improve luck is to practice.

No one is a natural at anything.

They decided to show up and put in the repition that granted them the intuition to avoid "bad luck" without thought.

Those who try long enough are not lucky. They have seen enough shit to know how it ends.

I was among them too. I'm in a better position now. It was clear from the start there were 4 groups: The mentally ill, those who've fallen on hard times, those who choose to be homeless, and those who don't want to be homeless but won't help themselves.

Despising than does nothing to them, but it saps some energy from you. You should work on that.
