| Sonart's running circles around you, Mindon -- I think you've got your blinders up.
The compassionate thing to do is not to force your worldview on someone, firstly, but if they need help to provide it to them. Compassion isn't "talking to" someone for a few minutes to make yourself feel like you aren't judgemental (which is exactly what you'd be doing)-- it's finding this person food, shelter, a program they can take part in. Or maybe it's respecting his free will and letting him get high, who knows?
I'd like to point out that you have a twisted view of what the big bad homeless drug addict must be like. You talk about them like they are just an idea, or a race all their own... they aren't. They are human beings with mothers, sisters, friends, opinions -- and compassion of their own. I've know them, I've had them in my family, and they're just like anyone else essentially.
If you want to judge people and make assumptions about their circumstances then fine, the only one you'll have to explain that to is your maker. I, for one, find you to be an embarassment to Christianity, and Sonart pointed out why. |
