there're too much suffering in this world that we can only help so much....
-
the thing is, i dunno for myself, lets say if someone is begging, you give him some money like 50cts or 1dollar coin.
but if its someone trying hard to make a living independently by trying to sell you a pack of tissue, cuz you dun need the tissue, end up never buy from her. So, i believe those people who try to make an honest living actually lost out to those beggers.
thats some food for thought.

Once upon a time there was a wise manOriginally posted by Marco_Simone:Heard about the Starfish story?
who used to go to the ocean
to do his writing.
He had a habit of walking
on the beach
before he began his work.
One day he was walking along
the shore.
As he looked down the beach,
he saw a human
figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to himself to think
of someone who would
dance to the day.
So he began to walk faster
to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw
that it was a young man
and the young man wasn't dancing,
but instead he was reaching
down to the shore,
picking up something
and very gently throwing it
into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out,
"Good morning! What are you doing?"
The young man paused,
looked up and replied,
"Throwing starfish in the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked,
why are you throwing starfish
in the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide is going out.
And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you realize that
there are miles and miles of beach
and starfish all along it.
You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely.
Then bent down, picked up another starfish
and threw it into the sea,
past the breaking waves and said-
"It made a difference for that one."
Just remember, no matter how small the deed
it really does makes a difference.
Make a difference today. -
may fortune smile upon the good
