An active part of the human condition is how we, as humans, perceive the world, places, people, situations and even the simplest of things. For example, if I tell a group of people that ‘John put down the pencil, and walked away,’ and then asked them the simple, yet mind blowing question of WHY? No two people out of the group will have the same response, because they will perceive the situation differently from their peers.

It is this ability of perceiving that sets humans aside from animals, that and the fact that humans have a knowledge of the present and past and are able to project into the future, while animals primarily live in the present.

The reason I am going into the philosophy of what sets us aside from animals, is because it has a relation to the focus of this discussion. I want to bring to your attention the way humans perceive the homeless in their community. IMHO we see the 'hobos' of society as stray animals, when in fact they too can perceive the past, present and future just like any other ‘human.’

I want to ask you, the reader, a serious question:

How do you think the homeless perceive us?

ps. this is for an art assignement, so any feedback would be great!!! THANKYOU!

the homeless walk around thinking, people dont know the real world

Depends on the person who see us and who he sees...!! My opinion is that he gives a huge sigh moves on !!

First off,perception is not a trait of humans only.Many animals have perception and you can understand that by looking into species that live in herds and flocks.It's a key thing to evolution.
In your main question,depends.
How do you look that person depends on how he is going to look back at you.In what society do you live,what's that person's background,his conceptions and experiences?The answer to your question depends on his social background and personality.

So.. everybody perceives things differently, yet you're asking me how homeless people, as a group, perceive us?

If I am to believe the first half of your post, then all homeless people perceive us differently, meaning I can't really answer your question.

The homeless are really aliens that want to observe humans...... jk

The homeless most likely have differing opinions of domesticated people, like domesticated people have differing opinions of the homeless.

Btw... John put the pencil down because he wanted too, why do motives always get questioned. He ain't no chicken crossing the road. lol

Btw... John put the pencil down because he wanted too

Not necessarily. Perhaps John is 8 years old, and he had to put the pencil down because his mother told him to go to bed, even though he really wanted to keep drawing.
