Ok i've seen this lady for years.. dirty, dirty clothes everyday the same, walking around in the streets, talks to herself, looks like she's about to die, i'm sure she also doesn't eat properly or at all. And i'm sure she has diseases.. so she's still alive and i wonder why? If i was sick and without eating, insane and crazy wouldn't my heart stop or something happen? Some homeless are sharp and move around but this lady is now insane , she looks like a mummy but still lives. is the body that strong to withstand years without care?

What makes you think you will die in an instant? No one knows the hour or minute in which they will pass (unless you are on death row). Rather than just looking at her, why not help her? Assuming that she's got diseases just because she's on the street is not correct..you may have more diseases than her...you don't know her medical history. You sound rather hypocritical...
I was homeless for a short time due to an abusive mate...lived in a shelter with my child. If you were around, would you claim I was full of diseases too, or talk about me the same as you speak of this woman? You have no idea what caused homeless people to be homeless... I was for a short time because I chose not to be beat/raped anymore..does that make me diseased? Why not help her...if you don't have material stuff, find a shelter for her so she at least has a warm place to sleep (or cool one..depending on the season)... You say you've watched her for years...why? In scripture, it is a sin to know that you need to do something good for another person and choose not to do it.

You know it's really sad to think there's homeless people on the streets without a home to go to isn't it?? I know every situation is different, some homeless people are addicts of drugs or alcohol... others lose thier jobs with no family to go to for help.Would you choose to be homeless, dirty, insane, hungry, and have other people judge you in this way? If you have saw this lady for "years" it makes me wonder why would you not try to help her in some way.... Do you even look in her eyes, smile at her, think of her on cold winter nights while you are nice and warm in your home? Why ask and wonder when and why she isn't dead...Could you spare a peice of leftover pizza that you throw down the garbage disposal, give her a shirt or coat you think is not in style to you anymore, a blanket shoved in top of your closet that never gets used, and the list goes on..... I'm not trying to be a smart---, I'm only trying to get you to think about others feelings.Do 1 thing nice for her the next time you see her, it will make you feel good and I promise it will make her feel wonderful.

The human body is uniqe in that aspect simply because of its ability to adapt to any environment and/or situation.

Some people just seem to be that way by nature--no matter how much abuse, the body keeps carrying on.

I knew of a bum when I was 7yrs old he used to walk around our neighborhood laughing and talking to himself and when I was 16 some kids found him dead one morning. that was really strange.
