Get Back On Your Feet Without ANY HELP

On Sunday, I was eating my breakfast waiting for my friend to return. This guy got there before my friend and I. Both of us saw people buy this guy food and give him money. I never harassed anyone who was eating in places like McDonald's. I never asked for help from anyone. The only time I did ask for money, I sat on the ground holding a sign, only talking when anyone did help. I said "Thank you and god bless you." This guy and others who beg never say that in response. I never begged for money for drugs or alcohol! I did not own an MP3 play which is what this guy has! I worked hard to get back on my feet. I have my own online jewelry store. That is free to sign up. I make money doing taste tests. I had one guy ask me then try and follow me with god knows what his intention was. I get people criticizing me when I was homeless. Even when I was homeless, I bought my laptop to help me since I do write. I also use both of my cell phones to make money. Before you criticize me, look at those who do beg! I guarantee you not everyone who begs needs the money. Most people get checks and blow every cent they get on drugs then they go out and beg for more money! Look those who do beg in the eyes because not everyone is really homeless or hungry!

Absolutely. That is why I don't give alms to everyone who ask for it. I better give my donation to orphanages where homeless kids are raised and home for the aged where homeless elders stayed.

you are right, i found some people,, who are really good ,with good body and health but still they beg, just to go for a movie or to get some eatables and for some other enjoyment. we should see before giving money to anyone. once i was sitting in beach a boy came and asked for money, the story he told was , he belong to some other state, he missed his friends ,and lost all his money, Now he need money for train ticket. one of my friend gave him. The other day, to our surprise ,we saw him in a cinema hall enjoying. The story what he told was all false.From then onwards we stopped giving money to people who are physically good.
