This afternoon someone came in to the office and giving me something to read. All the while they are just asking for donations and I don't know if they are carrying for the legal letter or whatsoever. What my point is, why are they asking money from others even if they have complete body parts.. and besides they are still healthy and alive so why asking from others. Do you think beggars scattered in the city or even in provinces because people also are giving them that is why are now used with that practice? Is is fault not to give to those kind of people? I hate seeing beggars who are physically and mentally fit... Even if they are not educated but they can still find ways for a living let's say selling something it is a legal job...

I saw few people doing such activities. Even in buses and jeeps where they distributed an envelope with a letter asking for little help with different reasons like company closed and they're on strike asking help for his/her studies and the likes...etc. And we saw them very much healthy. I just ignore those people. There are more people who deserves help than those ones. have a good day jaiho®

There are lots of beggars like that in my town. They don't just go to offices but also to houses and some even ride in public transportation and then hands out envelopes to each passengers. I don't pity them, in fact I find them annoying. There are times when we are so busy doing household chores plus taking care of our baby at home then we will hear someone calling at our gate, only to find out that it is one of those people and it makes me mad. I don't help them, they could definitely work to make a living rather than ask others. They should use their time working or looking for jobs rather than spending it going places to beg.
