Rethinking Almsgiving: Beyond Charity to Empowerment

in beggar •  last year  (edited)

"Think for a moment. Giving alms does not end poverty!

We took two young children,
One we sent begging in old clothes,
And the other we sent to sell different things,
In the evening, the beggar child earned 800 rupees,
And the laborer child earned 1,250 rupees.

The result of this social experiment is clear.
As a society, we encourage begging,
And discourage hard work and labor.

We meticulously calculate the earnings of hotel waiters, vegetable vendors, and low-level laborers,
And we think we have given beggars 10 or even 250 rupees, and they should be content.
What should really happen is that those who beg should only be provided with food,
And those who work should be given more than their due.

Our teachers say that if you give a beggar 100,000 rupees in cash, they will return to begging the next day, having spent it all.

On the other hand,
If you help a laborer or a decently dressed person,
They will fulfill their legitimate needs and work even better.
Why not keep a collection box at home? Keep contributing to it for alms.
When a substantial amount accumulates, give it to someone who is not a beggar.

In this country, millions of students, patients, laborers, and women are in need of even a single rupee.

By helping the deserving, even one rupee can be enough to cross the bridge to salvation.
Remember!
Giving alms doesn't end poverty; it only increases it.
Be charitable,
Plan and take precautions,
This way, the world can change and the hereafter too.
The rest is up to you."
