Everyday on my way to work, I run into people like him. It sometimes hurts me to see them in the situation they are in. What hurts me the most is to see people look at them like if they were disgusting, like a piece of shit, like they don't deserve to live in this world. People make huge mistakes and can not overcome most opstacles that others do. We may have money and homes one day, but they can be taken from us the next.
Now, if they ask me for some change, I give it to them. Why? Well, many people say "don't give them money, you don't know if he's going to spend it on dope."
Well, I always said, "listen, I love to help people. How do you know he won't just spend it on a coffee or food? Only god truly knows what these people do with the change others give them, but you must always give out something, a banana, a apple, crackers, 5cents, 1 dollar; the more you give, the more you receive. Now, what they do with that money is up to them. They lie to themselves, not us. We did our job to try to help them, now its up to them to help themselves!!"
I know that if I was in the predicament their in and I really needed the money, I would want someone to help me, not thing that I will use it on drugs!!
Some do lie but it's not our problem. If you do not have money to give, just tell them god bless. Words of wisdom won't hurt either! It's NEW YORK, THE CITY OF POSSIBILITIES!! It's just sometimes people need help making their impossibilites into possibilities. WE CAN HELP. :)
