probably give him in a form of material instead of money…

I saw a derelict yesterday sitting down at a pavement eating prawn crackers at a time when we are supposed to have dinner.

I felt like giving him some money but I was hesitant and in the end I did not.

Reading this gives me an idea that if next time around I feel like helping a homeless or derelict, I’ll bring him/her to a Mamak shop and treat them to a plate of meal.

But I wont be giving my seat in a bus when the person standing is a young healthy girl

Whoops! You’re right. My bad. Replace donate with help. My answer remains the same.

@dinoza: Again this isn’t donation. Its some random guy asking you for money to get petrol/taxi ride etc.

Honestly? The real me would donate so long as I have something to spare. I don’t think much about whether it is right or wrong unless you truly know the motive of the person you are donating to. All I know is you can’t go wrong with donating. An act of kindness/compassion never is.

@bev, @massy: I’m not talking about donation. I’m talking about those strangers that approach you on the street asking for money. Also it’s hard to know if the donation is real.

Depends on situation, like donating is fine but begging unless you have working hand and legs, don’t beg.
