We see everyday people begging on the streets. I have always wondered why they don’t choose to work instead of begging. Maybe some past circumstances made them beg today. Some beggars are those who failed at work which will lead them to beg. While some beggars can work, but they don’t want to work.
People beg for easy cash without working. Have you noticed beggars carefully? They are such emotional blackmailers. Begging should never be an option to anyone. I am so against begging for a long time back.
We have never bothered to ask beggars about the reason they beg. We either give them some money or just walk away. In our country, I see this small toddler begging. I don’t like to see that scenario but I can’t ever unsee it. People will continue to beg until people give them money. We all should stop giving them money.
We feel they are poor, needy and we give them the money. We know that that work, they are physically stable and why do we give them money?
When we stop giving money, only then this begging thing will stop. We give money to child beggars means we are encouraging them to beg more. Children are majorly forced by their parents to beg and children wouldn’t have any option rather than begging.
Beggars don’t want to work even if they’re physically stable. For instance, if someone offers them a job, they will run away. I think they have set this mindset that working is bad or a challenge. Begging is easy, without doing anything; you get money, what else would be better for them?
All money they collected through begging is used for drugs, alcohol, or any addictive thing. Some of the beggars beg due to physical disorders. But, most of the beggars beg because it’s an easy way. Begging is a way of sympathy and emotions, and it’s easy. What I have realized is there is no employment problem, people beg because it is easy. But we must make a stop to begging.
The reason for this blog is awareness. I am hopeful that everyone reading this blog is now aware about begging is such a wrong act. We always knew begging was wrong, but we don’t give it much importance like crimes or robbery. I feel this problem is a serious one and we all need to address it.
