This evening I gave money to a homeless man who came up to me and asked for help.
Yes, it's entirely possible that he will use the money for something that could be less than favorable. However, we should look upon others in such situations with compassion. Perhaps if it were you and I on the street corner sleeping on a park bench, we would understand why someone may be so quick to buy a drink.
Regardless, if someone asks us for help and doesn't truly need it, then that individual will have to work out the karma following such an action and will ultimately learn from it. We ourselves will suffer no ill, for our intention was a noble one, we intended to help another.
