Homless- Decision or cicumstances?

Hi my name is Haya and I am going to share with you my thougths.
Lately I am becoming more aware to the homeless people probably because I moved to a new neighberhood in Los Angeles.
It's make me wonder what make people decide that it's easier to live on the street after all I do believe it's a decision more than circumstances, Studys show that there are only 25% homeless that are mentally ill, 41% of adults were employed within last year.
Maybe it's easier that you don't need to pay bills and taxes, you have a kind of freedom but they never seem happy so what is the use of freedom if it's not make you happier......
And I can't understand where their faimly are? That's lead me to another thoght that maybe they don't have a family and that with a family you don't have a reason to live?? I wonder if someone would have ask them if they prefer to be dead what were their answer?
I am also wondering If they are stronger or weaker from all the normal peopll cause on one end they are weaker cause they gave up but on the other end they are surviving the streets.
How many of them will take a chance for normal life if someone will give it to them?
That's it for today I hope I"ii have happier thoghts next week....
