For many times i have come across beggars in the street. They try different means to earn for their living. Some play a instrument, some disabled ones just lie there or kneel there with a bowl in front of them. I feel pity for them especially when i see some child beggars. Sometimes i feel that i am so weak that i cannot do anything for them.

in my country most of the beggars are the illegal immigrant. They came from their country and enter to my country illegally and live here without any job because they can't do job if they are illegal immigrant here. Some of them been brought to my country by a syndicate and actually work for that syndicate for begging. I do feel pity on some of them but i just don't want to gives them money as for me by giving them a money i am actually encourage them to stay like that for the whole of their life.

Government should take measures to help those. Usually, I will give them some coins. Sometimes, I also let my child give away some coins he has collected to them. This is what i can do.

While walking on a footover bridge, I saw a line of beggars, sitting with desolate expressions, such that they actually, touched my conscious, as to why God made these terrible discrepancies in life. I tipped each one of them, and prayed to God that night for them.
After a mid night movie when I walked past them I was quite shocked to see them counting their pennies, which was a considerable pile in front of them. To add to the shock I overheard one of them gloating over the way, he had enacted to get more alms from a foreigner.
Then on, I refuse to feel any pity for that variety of population.
If they are ok in health, then they can do some physical labour and feed themselves.If they work for some syndicate then its their problem not the society's.
