“We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

(My Thoughts:)

I like to think and prospect life towards on giving because it’s a good feeling. When you give something to someone knowing that you got them happy is a good type of day. Also, sometimes you just brighten their day with positive energy and that goes on with them for the rest of the day. Let’s not forget what Thanksgiving is all about and keep in mind to give. However, when I exit the freeways and I see people asking for money it kind of bothers me. For one, If I give anything I don’t want to touch their hands in the process. For two, there is no reason to ask for change as you can do alternative ways.

Alternatives 

If you are to the point where you have to ask money from people, you can do other things like collecting cans. If you dedicate your time and collect as much as you can, you may just end up making 100 dollars a day. On top of that, I feel like no one should ask for money as it is kind of very low point of life. On top of that why would you expect for people just to give you something. If you really want it to that point, go ahead and recycle cans and glasses and you will make more than what people will give.

The other sad part of giving money is that you just don’t know if they are going to buy drugs or do they really need it. It’s sad to give someone money knowing that they are going to buy alcohol and destroy their body more. Therefore, there is always ways to get around without necessary asking people for money. At the same time, giving money is good feeling knowing that perhaps you really are helping them.

Giving

Another way to give, is by donating to charities that really need attention. Giving is a way of helping which you get rewarded for it from God above. So why not just give and look good.
