Theres a beggar i would usually see when i go to office .She is a lady.she is not having vision .she is blind.So i used to pity on her and will give her money to my satisfaction.
One day as usally when i was offering money to the lady.The women who standed near by said dont put her money almost she commanded me .i was curious and wanted to know why?She told me that the lady is not blind and she has her own home too.
I was totally confused and was half hearted to belive it.After few days when i was out with my frnds i saw the beggar lady was pointing something ina shop and getting some food items.I was shocked to see that she is not blind.I was totally upset after this incident.Being a kind hearted person i am unable to digest this incident.Nowadays i am confused whether to help others who i am seeing on the road .I have a second thought whether he is really handicapped or lying.
I just wanted to share this incident becoz i dont want others to get fool like me and also wanted to know anybody have crossed incidents like this.Do u think humanity is dying

knowing this incident will not stop me from giving to any other beggars. i may get cheated by this 1 lady...but what if the next one to come is really in need of money? after all, we only give the amount of money that is within our ability...so i will say, i prefer to share the love and joy.

Yeah, that's something. Some people would do such a thing because they don't want to go out there and get a real job just like honest people would.

That is awful. I don't see many, and when I do I don't give them money. I saw on Oprah a homeless man that was given 100k. He blew it all on junk and never even purchased a house or an apartment. He ended up homeless again in months.
