I usually give them money and usually its not just change. I know their are a million reasons why i probably shouldn't but truthfully i don't care about those reasons. When i suprise them and actually give them money rather then disparage them- for that brief milasecond they are uplifted. I know that most of them are in the position they are in by choice, but damn i don't know all of their stories. I never walked 1 inch in their shoes- so who am i to judge.
I know most will shake their heads after reading what i said and think i am a dumbass but i really do not care. Out of the 100 who might choose to be where they are- just maybe there might be 1 who had life circumstances that i will hopefully never have to live or understand. For that 1 person it makes everything worthwhile.
If i can make a destitute person elated for just that split second, why not. I certainly didn't put myself out. Oh, and i smile i while i do it.
