What are your feelings towards a beggar?

A beggar is actually a human person who we must care for. A beggar is deprived in life. That is why he is begging...not only for financial aid but perhaps for help on surviving life. Many people have made begging a means to benefit themselves. These are the indolent parents and the organized mafia. Begging had become a cultural dilemma in the many great cities of the world. As there are beggars, so are there the greedy rich who would not even share crumbs from his banquet table...

In our country, one of the modus operandi of syndicates is that they send out children to beg in the streets and they collect the money afterwards. Some beggars, if they are not part of a crime organization would use the money they have collected to buy addictive substances. Yes, this situation is very real. Whenever I see a beggar, especially if it's a child, my heart is torn. Knowing what I know, I am skeptical that maybe by giving the beggar money I am just supporting the syndicates that are behind them. So what I do is I buy them something to eat, instead.

i dont give them anything but i never carry cash so thats an easy one.. but i do feel bad for them.. i always wonder which ones are just faking it or have probs that they are just stuck in that they could do better in (like an addiction etc) and which ones are really just screwed as far as they lost their homes etc.. i have a soft spot for the homeless. i always wanted to like start a homeless shelter that rehabilitated them not just give them a meal or cash and shoo them away

Well I know begging is often frowned upon becuse there are so many scammers out there and lazy people who are looking for hand outs, but I think that we should keep in mind that there are some people out there that are not begging, but in fact really and sincerely need our help. with that said I also frown on constant beggars, meaning people who are not motivated to make somthing out of there lives and are depending on hand outs from others to make a living. but if someone has proven/shown to me that they honestly need help, I would defintly consider helping them depending on there situation, and theres a big difference between a beggar's and a person just asking some for help, lets all remember that.

I used to give something to beggars, unfortunately when i found out that these people, including kids are part of some syndicate, i stopped giving it to them.sad but, some of them tend to be abusive..so, instead i would just give psalm to charities that has piggy banks near the ticket booth..

In my country.There are beggars.Beggars can be divided into several of the.Some of the elderly.Some are children.Making use of the bad kids go begging.If I see a beggar.I will give him(her) to buy food or something else.Not to give him(her) money.I do not have the power to stop a criminal organization and the bad guys to use deception or begging to do something bad.I can only help them some food.

mmm .. i don't know, if i feel sorry, i can see in their eyes, i just gave it to them, i don't care what for is the money they will use, as long as we are doing a good things, it doesn't matter, God can see what you do for others, including the beggar do Have a nice day mercuryman3a

I used to give money to the beggars, that was until I discovered some of them are cheaters. The problem is, it's hard to figure out who cheat and who's not. They're better than any actors. It's irritating. I don't mind sharing but I hate being cheat. It's taking advantage of other people kindness.

Normally when I see a small child or am old man I feel pity for them. But when I see a 30-40 years old man begging on the road side I get annoyed sometimes. I mean he can do some work and earn instead of begging. But you are right begging is more of a industry. Some gangs catch these children and old people and make them to beg. This way they are getting to earn lots of money. Once my sister saw on roadside a very young kid begging. She knew if she will give her money it will not go to her. Instead she went to nearby shop and bought a sandwitch for her. She ate that and she was happy. I was amazed at the thinking of my sister. Really nice.
