My father gave money to a panhandler when I was a young adult (when I had almost no money to spare). I asked if it bothered him how the money might be spent. His words: "If he needs a bottle to get through the night, who am I to judge?"
That had a profound effect on me. I don't give money to everyone who asks. But I give a hell of a lot more because of that statement. My father was a teetotaler, fwiw.
Absolutely. If I lived on the streets, I'd want to do practically anything to take my mind off of it. Drugs and alcohol are an easy escape.
lol most are on the streets because of drugs and alcohol, not the inverse
what's a "teetotaler"??
