Top 8 tips to decide whethar to help a beggar!

I came across various kinds of beggars. After lot of thinking, I came down to following points which I generally use to decide whether to give money or help a beggar:

1. Beggar under age of 10 years: I never give him money as that could inculcate a habit of asking for money. Instead, I try giving him a meal or old clothes I have. But, money is NO NO.


2. Beggars between ages of 10 to 20: They are a bit grown up. I decide on the spur of moment. If I find some elders with them and find them in physically disabled condition, I give him some money. The person looks to be in real need. If he/she is begging alone, I do not prefer to give them money reason being same as said in point 1. However, when some of them tell their misery, I decide on the spur of the moment.


3. Beggars in age group of 20 to 40: I generally don’t give them money except for the case of physical disability.


4. Beggars of age greater than 40: I keep them in old beggars’ category. I generally give them money. It seems to me that if person could not change himself till date, no amount of words could change them. Also, there is definitely some strong reason if a person of age greater than 40 is begging. I give theme benefit of doubt and pay them money.


5. Female beggars below age of 20: I do not give them money except for the case of physical disabilities.


6. Female beggars above age of 20: I do give them money as I believe there must be some strong reason for female to do begging. She must be placed in real compromising condition. So, I do help them.


7. Female beggars with baby: Help them definitely without any doubt.


8. Above 60 years age female beggars: Help them definitely without any doubt.
