I remember an arab class I had during matrix.. The ustazah recited a hadith that tells the story of our Prophet giving a beggar a sack of grains to sell so that the beggar will stop begging...
At the end of the class she told us
"Don't encourage beggars to beg.. When you give, you are encouraging them not to work and hope from others.. But if you see those who have something with them like tissues then you can give because there's an effort there.."
I told mommy what the ustazah taught us.. Like always, she has her own opinion on the matter too
"Hurm.. I think, when you are in doubt to give some change to the beggar because you're afraid they are from a syndicate, then don't just pass by just like that.. Pray for them in your heart~ that's the least you could do,right?"
huhu~ that's my dear mom (^^)v
Hurm~ as for dad.. Once a kid begged at our table when we were having our family meal somewhere in KL... I thought he was going to shoo him away because the boy was so persistent~ but then dad invited him to join our dinner.. Then the boy left with full stomach of course.. Then dad said
"At least the boy left with a full stomach~" all of us smiled~

Hurm~ ponder ponder~

gg, i like it, a good thing to ponder.
1st - don't encourage beggar to beg..i agree
2nd - i like the way your dad deal w the boy, seriously! a lot better in dealing with the syndicate matter
3rd - What our Prophet did WAS THE BEST!
4th - I really adore those who can do the 2nd and 3rd point. It's not easy.But i ve met those people.
WHAT WE NEED IS KEIKHLASAN, EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY.These are what i'm lacking off
