Lois M. Collins: Quick judgments ignore the real, deeper stories
7 comments | Read story
This leaves one in a predicament. Am I helping or hurting this person? Am I adding to or alleviating societal problems?
I prefer to donate to organisations that are skilled and experienced in prudently dealing with the homeless etc.
Also the experience of the Smarts show that giving a dollar or two is one thing; giving a stranger access to your home is another.
Wisdom and compassion can, and should, be combined.
Everyday this person has cigarettes and puts on a very sad, pathetic face and takes money from anyone that will give it to her. It's quite a show.
People like this make me sick and hardens my heart for those who are truly in need.
