I do that too. I like street performers and sometimes even wish there would be more (not poor, of course). They make the place much nicer. Sometimes the music is even great. I don't have problems with those, they earn their money.

Thank you for sharing. I will probably use your advice. Sometimes. And other times, I think it's still better to offer food, blanket or a ticket instead of money, just as people expressed here. At least I won't wonder if I gave so

I'm not sure I'll have the courage to speak. For example, one lady claims that her daughter got injured in a terrorist attack and for years now she is undergoing expensive medical treatments. I see this lady pretty often on the tr

Good point. Why? Because I was poor too a long time ago. Neither I or my family begged for money, but worked really hard to get it. I sympathize, I guess. No one knows how it feels to grow in a family with low resources. It goes unnoticed.

It's not my duty but helping someone in need, someone who asks you for help, is our duty. Just like you help a tourist. You help because you can.

Good idea. What do you think I can do when I'm on a train and there is nothing I can do but to give money? That where I get to hear most of the touchy stories.

I was really ashamed after I read your answer. I'm still not 100% sure that's the spirit I'm willing to adopt, but there is something to it that feels right. I will think about it.

There are charities in my country as well. But I suspect they are corrupted and I avoid giving them money. Regarding making good money while begging for it - I don't know how much do they make here.

There was one time, someone asked me for small change in order to buy water. I offered him to buy the water without giving him the money. He turned away and kept walking. This is why I tend not to give money (and feel really bad about it).

I played COD a little bit, modern games are just too hard. I need something fun and relaxing.

Seems interesting to try. I'm used to watch TV shows in order to disconnect. Working out sounds like a good idea but I'm a little bit lazy. So I might try this advice. What games can you suggest for someone who used to play Doom a

Thanks for the post! I didn't know such conversation existed. Diving into it to learn some more stuff. This post is relevant because Sheldrake's talk on Ted was banned from Ted. You can still find it on Youtube though. Many people

Maybe it's because as Sheldrake says, you can't prove or disproof those dogmas. Anyway, I hope that one day scientists will learn to question everything. Even the very foundation of science. Otherwise our life is meaningless and
