The last time I tried to throw food at a homeless man who wasn't hungry, I realized that I spent several minutes trying to convince him he should have the food, and not one second finding out who he was or what his name was. You put a name to the person, rather than making your own determination about who he was and why he was in the predicament he was in. You humanized him, and I think that is the direction we all need to be going.
