Will you give money to the beggar?

yes, I do give sometimes but not all the time, for example, I don't give money to beggars on hazard places like hiways or those running after your vehicle, entertaining this kind of beggars will justify that their choice of place for begging is right even if it's dangerous.

I usually would not resort to giving them money because I wouldn't know what they would buy with it or if it even goes to them personally. So what I do is give food or some bread, especially with the old man that I also pass by on my way to work.

I sometimes do.. but no always else staying in India there are so many beggars and if i give money to each and every beggar, I 'll land up being one myself

Yes.. maximu times i give money to the beggers.
But also it depnds on them. I see some of people using begging as a wepon to earn money.
They take their child also into the traffic and make us feel bad.
i dont like them.

BHA

it depends on whoever will i give the money. if the person looks healthy i wont give money cause it wont help the person to look for something that he she will earn. it will help him her to be lazy and ask alm to anyone and wait till someone give him her money

Hi Sasalove,

Yes i pay money to the beggars, they mak eus so pitty when we are waiting for an, auto or bus, Now a day they have started even in the traffic signals also carrying small childerns they make us feel so pitty. And its common they sit outside the temples.

I don't always give because i struggle my self. But the other day i did. Why? Well because this guy who i see standing at corners alot i thought he was a fake untill one day i actually seen him walking from one destination to the other. So i gave him a little compensation in hopes that he would go buy him some water because it was hot that day and i know it had to be tough walking at least a few miles in that heat.

i easily feel pity when i find a beggar. but it is not true with all the beggars in the street. i easily feel for the older and sick beggars. whenever i pass by them in the sidewalk, i can't resist but give them an amount. i choose whom to give because some beggars are too strong to find work for themselves. they are just lazy and prefer to go around begging. other children beggars are workers for a syndicate. someone "employs" them and he gets the bigger share of it. he feeds the children beggars whom he sends to the street to beg. also, i am careful when giving money to beggars here. there is a city ordinance prohibiting mendicancy. the beggars are rounded up and put into a shelter but some of them manage to escape and go back to the streets.

I think I have magnet for every beggars whatever places i go be on the church, markets or outside the shopping mall. A beggar would always appear in front of me and beg. Sometimes I have no money to give, I give them food. While, my brother do not like to give to the beggar as in doing were tolerating them to be lazy when in fact they have complete bodies and not yet disabled could still work. Thus, were entirely different from those aspects as my brother do not like to gives even a single cents as it is toleration. The more we give,the more beggar would seek to stay as beggar because money is easy to comes than sweating it out by working. Thus, it is better to gives alms only to those disabled or with debilitated situation.

I give money to those beggars who are really in need of money. I have seen very healthy people begging. Even children with nohandicaps are out to earn fast bucks by begging. I do not give these people a penny. More than giving money to beggars, I give money to poor who live in our neighbourhood and sometimes raw materilas to cook. Here beggars are very demanding, they ask for the amount they need. And they throw back or snap at us for giving them money they think is inapropriate!!! Some are very pestering while demanding money!!!
