KNOWING WHAT TO GIVE AND WHAT NOT
Some says LIFE IS NOT FAIR. There are those people that are lucky enough in life and there are those who are less fortunate. But the saddest part is when these unfortunate people are used by those who are greedy and avaricious in life.
WHAT IS LIFE?
Life is what we have right now. It is a choice we make. Sometimes , life may put you under it but do not forget that it's not permanent, time will come that life will gonna put you on the top as long as we fight for our right as a human being.
I remember the time me and my partner @ginblozzom went out with our baby. Since both of us was on a dayoff that day, we decided to make some quality time outside the house with our little family. While waiting for the GO signal, i noticed a little boy knocking on the car window just a few meters away from us...that's when i realized that he is begging for something. Someone opens the window and gave that litte boy a penny. As soon as he received it, he went right away with a big smile on his face. I can't seem to stop myself but to also smile secretly without my partner's knowledge.
Before the stoplight turns to GREEN. Here comes another child begging to a motorist. I thought it would be the same thing but i was wrong...the motorist hand the little child a food...with a little hesitation, the little boy took it and went away. I didn't see any smile or happiness on the child's face. It didn't stop me from wondering WHY?

I open up a little conversation with my partner until we reach this topic. I ask him about it. He says : people who are begging on the street is actually begging for a money and not for food.
I look at him and ask him WHY?
He said: Nowadays, children have been used in a small syndicate or a group of people who would like to get easy money out of child's innocence. Not just these people but he is also talking about the parents of these young children. They used children since people have soft heart when they sees them on the street begging for something but actually aiming for a money not for food.
That answer hit me hard and led me to a realization.....that is why the little boy who was given a food from a motorist did not even say thank you nor didn't even smile because he was actually aiming for a money...unlike with the boy who received money who was very happy and left away with a smile on his face.
I cannot imagine how cruel and savage this act is. Knowing, not only a group of people but also their own parent is behind this inhumanity.
As a concern citizen, I want to end this kind of unpleasant and cruelty act. But the question is : HOW AND WHAT SHOULD I NEED TO DO?
I talk to my partner again about this. He actually had a good idea. He says....
" There's nothing more we can do about this but to do the right thing in our own little way"
So what we did, whenever we sees them again in the street, we will just give them food, that way, people behind this cruelty cannot get something from them and at the same time, those little innocent kids could be able to eat and get full.
What do you think is the best way to help these little children in our society?
Hi! Unfortunately, that's how things happen. And not only this way, but mothers take their breastfeeding child in the street and beg with with the child in their arms. Very heartbrokening... Indeed a better way of somewhat helping is giving them food instead of money. But that will not stop the adults behind it to send the kids back in the streets. Somehow a social campaign or awareness to be created to educate people about such things, as many are still unaware about the tactics that are being used to collect money from people. A system must be created in order to deem sending this children in a street, obsolete. Maybe with that piece of food, hand-over to the child a little picture telling a story that will create some impact in his little mind. A picture can speak 1000 words; and together with the kind act of offering food it may create a small question mark in the child's mind. Worth a try..
