Vendor or Beggar ?!?
Just a question if anyone wants to answer.
There are four people: Elder Street Vendor (ESV), Child Street Vendor(CSV), Elder Street Beggar(ESB) and Child Street Beggar(CSB). Till now, I help/pay ESV, CSV and ESB. I have my own reasons to do that ,that I will share in comments later. The question is, among these, which are the ones you support/pay/help and what will you do??
I support all four categories providing they are trying to scam me or others. I do not know the circumstances of their lives that has turned to begging (in particular); and, have no right to judge. But for the grace of God...go I!
At his time I need to say I believe that we are all our brothers' and sisters' keepers and we are all born equal. The only difference between any of us - low or high - is circumstances. If one of our brothers or sisters is in real need; and, we have the ability to help - then it is our moral duty to help.
I think till three it is right but a CSB is not acceptable. If we support them then they will get this encouragement for the rest of their life. Don't you think.
Not necessarily. A distant cousin of mine was made to beg as a child. Her mother would force her to sing for change. She grew up and became a very famous actress who helps those less fortunate. In my original answer I meant to say "not" scamming.
I got what u r saying. Still kinda don't agree with you. Your cousin was forced to do that, maybe he/she have a good voice, but didn;t want to do the rest of the life.

Fortunate: "favored by or involving good luck or fortune; lucky." There is a certain amount of luck involved in survival. In life, we seem to be dealt a deck of cards. Some are more fortunate than others. They are born with many advantages and have it much easier than others. Some are...

At what age are children no longer considered children?I ask because, here in Texas, you can sign contracts at 18 but you can't drink or smoke until 21. I don/t think it is the same around the world. I know parents tend not to see their own children as grown up, so I am talking about everyone else,...
