Are we really helping beggars when we give them money?

 We can often see beggars at the corners of streets or roads with shabby clothes sitting on the ground, stretching out their hands and there would also be a bowl or something concave with some coins in Some of them seem to be disabled,some of them carry their children and beg money for the others sing sadly in front of you we would feel sorry while we see such people and cannot help loving compassion for these beggars so we give money to them.

Nevertheless, It would be better not to give money or to show sympathy to the beggars because we do not know if they are really beggars or homeless.Most of them are just too lazy to do any work  and also some of them are drug addicts who will spend the money on drugs or alcohol.

As the word beggar means a person that begs for money or food, it does not mean the same as homeless or poverty stricken.

There is no proof that those who are lying on the streets are actually homeless. They could go home, into the warmth, with their loving family but they don't do it. According to some news reports some beggars are even richer than other people who give them money. These people make money readily by cheating on kind people.Such people do not beg, but make their living by other means. By giving money you are encouraging those who are homeless to stay on the streets, instead of trying to earn their living by hard work.

The beggars are on the street because they are too lazy to work. The main cause for their condition is that they're poor and unable to hold a regular job due to all sorts of problems like mental, emotional, physical and educational backwardness. Easy money is an extreme attraction for the lazy one sitting around all day collecting spare money from  passersby. With such an easy income they aren't eager to work at all. By giving money to this sort of people, far from helping them not only you are encouraging them to be lazy but also you are encouraging others to do the same.

Your kind offer will lead them to more serious laziness than ever. we can't know how the beggars use the money they received. We give them money for the purpose that they can buy food and clothes.

The beggars are doing the begging as they are lazy to work. The main causes for them are that they're poor and being unable to hold a regular job due to all sorts of problems like mental, emotional, physical, educational, and so on. Easy money is an extreme attraction for the lazy one sitting around all day collecting spare money off of passersby. With such an easy come they aren't eager to work at all. By giving money to these sorts of people, far from helping them, not only are you encouraging them to be lazy but also encouraging others to follow their path.

Your kind offer will lead them to more serious laziness than ever. We can't possibly know how the beggars use the money they received. We give them money to help them buy food and clothes. However, some of them do not  buy these necessities but they use them on alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Thus, we are encouraging them to continue their bad habits using too much drugs and alcohol or helping them commit crimes and may cause them to die.

It is  foolish of you to give money to a beggar for self happiness and satisfaction.

Instead, one should provide them with food and clothing which can not be used in bad habits but will provide them with warmth and maybe something to fill their stomach before they sleep at night, this will give you the true feeling of self satisfaction and happiness.

After all the most helpful way to assist beggars is according to this Chinese proverb,

        “Teach a man  fishing than giving him a fish”
