Homeless vs. Houseless

There's a difference between a man without a home and a man without a house. A man without a house has a place in society but for whatever reason has lost his abode - but not his place. A man without a home has no place in society - even when he's in a house. He will always be on the "outside". This gives a great feeling of insecurity to a person and different people react different ways. Some are driven to be great criminals, some are driven to be great artists and some are simply driven homeless.

The world will never be a perfect place, which is why Jesus said we will always have the poor. "Judge not lest you be judged yourself." But just because the world is not perfect doesn't mean that shouldn't be our goal.
