| There are lots of beggars here in the US. A lot of times you can't tell if they are panhandling for food, professionally, or to get high. I've found the best way to stop the parasitic nature of begging while still showing compassion, is to offer food or drink instead of money when you have some to spare. You can usually tell who needs and appreciates it, and who is disgusted by the offer by the way it is accepted.
But sometimes you just know someone needs help, and you help. You did the right thing IMHO. Casey |
