i used to think that hobos were mystical and wise for some dumb reason...i would listen to their stories and believe everything they said...now i take everything i hear from a person broker than me with a grain of salt.
you are right, sorry for putting words in your mouth. and yeah, i do not know how to engage with them either. as a college student, there are plenty that kind of stalk the campus and ask for spare change. but i have little spending money, so i always have to turn them down
i never said they were dumb. i just do not trust them
