Hence somebody saying that to me will never elicit anything but a silent laugh from me (and secretly I’m happy that he/she’s able minded to take it). People (and at the risk of sounding biased, although true without a shed of doubt, man in particular) don’t cry a lot – which is ok – they’ve been brought up not to cry… (I don’t wanna sound like the so called uber/metro sexual anymore so I’ll stop here).

Yes giving alms is definitely not the solution, if there is one anyway. My Dad has this theory – if a beggar comes to your place (office/home in India) never give it – coz pretty soon it”ll be a regular thing and his gang might come too. If you see him on the street or somewhere random, probably it’s ok.

Now again, I usually don’t give alms – but this guy touched me man!!!

arent we all so used to not giving to people in need…rather…we suspect that the person is just feigning

it take one man’s tears to move a person…but then many of them…many of us dont express ourselves through tears…for them…its again the same cold stare saying…f*** off

but again…is giving alms the solution…i dont know
i just pose questions…n am myself lookin for answers
