Stop Giving Money to Beggars

I believe that some of you like to give money to beggars. People usually say that they give money because they feel sorry. Giving money to the beggars will make some people feel good. Somehow I agree that people must have compassion, but I think that people should stop to give money to beggars. Allow me to convince you that giving money to beggars only make everything worse.

Giving money only increase the amount of beggars, make the beggars lazier and help them to buy illegal drugs.


I agree with some laws that punish people who give money to beggars. The main reasons why the governments make the law, because they know that giving money only increase the amount of beggars. People like to get money easily, right? If people give money easily to beggars, it will invite the other lazy people who want to get money easily to beg too. Then, we have to consider that many beggars are only lazy people. I usually see a man begging across my boarding house. He is still strong to work. Begging does not need any kind of skills. You just have to walk, make up your appearance like poor, and stop before people to beg. I understand that some of the beggars are different ability people, but I usually see that the other different ability people can work and create some handmade things. I also see in KM 0, one of place in Jogjakarta, some of beggars are only gangsters. They are only some of scary man getting tattoos on their body. They will force people to give them money. They use the money to buy drugs and alcohol drinks.


Finally, I just want to state that let us stop giving money to beggars. Instead of giving money in the street, we can give the money to charitable institutions. we should have compassion, but we must also have a smart perspective.


Coffee please!

This one is a kind of coffee :D
