Hi,

I think that it is possible to change the world only with strong minded people, who can fight for peace, for truth, for happiness.

Re: Do you hate poor man?

Hello,

My name is Jennifer and I live in Atlanta, GA. I am a Georgia State University student. Since going to school in Atlanta, I have witnessed poor people who are homeless and live on the streets. Many have mental problems and some are just poor with no place to go. Everytime I see a homeless person on the streets, my heart breaks and I want to reach out and help so badly. Then I am reminded of the world that we live in and there are actually people who “work” as beggars and take peoples money who are only tr ying to help them. I do not hate poor people, I am always wanting to help. I hate to think that people would really hate poor people especially since most of the time they can’t help it. I am glad that you wrote a message about this topic. It is a very im portant topic that needs to be dealt with.

Dasha,

I can relate to what you are saying, some homeless just break my heart. I feel like giving them everything I got. Homeless animals, make my heart crumble, though I have not seen many in New York in the past few years.

Hi Nuria,

I like your philosophical approach. I must admit that I really hate seeing all the homeless people around me. I feel overwhelmed, because I want to give them money or food, but cannot give them to all. And i am very suspicious of them– are they really homeless? But if a person really moves me, then I will give. If I see the same person sitting on the same corner, in a couple of months, then I will give it to them. If the person has a pet that is obviously being taken care of, then I mos t certainly give them. I have a soft spot for homeless pets.

When I give someone money, I always feel embarrassed. As if, by giving the person money, I am humilating them. I do not know why? I feel really akward, especially when they keep thankin g me.

Hi

I think that if you want to hepl someone you have to be able to help yourself first. You have to fix the things you have do wrong in your life then you can help others. We have to try be better person so that then you can help someone else to be a better person in life.

Take care
