I happen to notice the beggars in town. One time, I'm in a bus, I’ve seen lots of beggars begging and asking for any amount. I also give small amounts for them. But sometimes I feel that it’s not the right thing to do for them. I always had the feeling of tenderness towards them. One time, there is a beggar asking me for a small amount saying that ‘’mercy to us’’ together with his Mother that is blind, I tried to give him a food to eat because that the only thing that I can give but I was shocked that he don’t accept. I don’t know what to feel or I was curios of something that they maybe needs money than food? I don’t judge them, the way that they react to us for giving them something they don’t want, but the thing is they ask for money to buy something what they need and that is food. But why is it always and every day they ask and begging something to the people. Is that the only thing they do in living? Most of the beggars is in public places it includes old people who doesn't have the strength to go to work anymore and was departed by family and relatives. I hope that there is someone in our community who can help and nurture the needs of every one of them. And for beggars that have the strength to go to work , I Hope someone can help them look for a better job to provide for their family.

It is good to note that you have so much compassion for beggars and you are concerned about their well being. What I feel that beggars basically do not want to work hard to earn their livelihood because many of us show mercy and just give them some amount without they moving their limbs even.

That's actually the reason I want to be rich, to help them of course but then I realize that It's not the reason as long as you have you can be of help, We always have the good heart to help. @dpk262006

@Issa22 - I agree with you that we should have good intentions to help the needy but they should be genuine persons who are down trodden. You see there might be some percentage of beggars who are really poor or incapable of doing a work and there is no harm if you want to help those kinds of beggars.

@dpk262006 Yeah, that's right, Sometimes you can't identify beggars if they are capable of doing such work but we can identify old ones..I hope that the government will take care of it..
