Well ...i am your average joe who feels pain and cant stop himself from giving some money to the shirtless beggar at the traffic signal or a weak lady with a kid at the entrance of the prayer hall... I have learnt that all these are just the tricks to earn the sympathy of the people..but still i believe that even if i may giving away the lil amount to hundred useless people but if there is a real needy one in that hundred then....who is to blame...ofcourse me...so i just dont take the chances... What do you think bout this???

I try helping others in a way that I think they really need it. Just be observant, often times you'll notice some weird things on those beggars. One time I saw a kid, then he was clothesless, a little bit mess up and was on the streets. Weird thing is, the kid was a little chubby or fat. Come to think of it, how come he has that kind of body then he goes off wandering in the streets begging. It only means that he's still being taken good care of.
