About beggars

Some of those people have tragic lifes so I wouldn't be so fast to judge. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Sometimes when you hit the bottom it is hard to get up. And it's easy to give opinions like yours when you are looking at them from above.

You are right. They don't have any idea about their future. If they about the future, surely they will give up their begging activity and start to work. All beggars must realize this fact and care about their future.

Well yes, most of them do think of a day's needs. That is because their resources are limited to whatever little money or food they have given to them through begging. I think if they have more than they need for a day, they also plan and "budget their food" as to plan what they will feed themselves or eat for the day. If they won't beg, they probably are not beggars to begin with. The thing is they are just pushed to the level of being beggars because there is nothing more they can do, even the basic house they live in, they probably don't have so they stay in the streets.

Well, it is easy to say.. although i do not give money to beggars since that will just encourage them to beg more, it is really hard to judge them either way, since we are not in their position. I do admire those really old people who work for their family..

Parents do save for their children's future. They do that to make sure their kids can go to school and finish their studies and live a good life afterwards. But as for the beggars, I do not think that they have the capacity to save money because they don't even have money to buy food in a day. They probably eat once a day or like what I have seen in movies, they spend the day without food to eat. They have no money to send their children to schools. Parents themselves are can't read and write. I think that they would also hope that their children would have a good life in the future. But they simply have the resources. But there are beggars who were able to change their lives. They have learn to hope, and to look for ways to change their lives. It is sometimes with the help of other people or groups.

How about putting in yourself in a beggar's point of view wherein you do not have any food for the day and you are not secure of many outside factors. The only focus you have is obtaining a food for the day making them ignore the future. Judging them without going beyond what you see is not appropriate for me.
