cf wrote: I know that inner debate. My solution is to allow myself to be whimsical. I only give when I feel good about it, when I feel I'm giving freely. I usually don't give when the thought "I should" pops up. And, I have stopped wanting to control what my money goes toward. Alcoholism and drug-addictions are diseases, and if these people get themselves some relief with my money, who am I to judge, coming from loving parents who wanted for nothing, at least in a material way? So many poeple end up on drugs and on alcohol through emotional and physical neglect, if not abuse. Who am I to judge? And then, sometimes, if my gut tells me, no money, I'll offer them a coffee, medecine or something to eat, and I will take a "no" calmly, because even though they're begging, they still have the right to refuse an offer.

But at some point, he will get frustrated with how he misuses the money and feed himself. Slowly, he will offer food for someone else ... With time, he will develop a great new habit and finally he will become one like us ... All we have to do is to give without a judgment ...
I feel you gave him from a very pure space and you both connected ... I can feel it ... Thank you very much for going out of your way :-)))
