I was at 7-Eleven during lunch today. A woman came in and asked for money so she could buy something to eat.
"I'll buy you bread," I responded.
"I want to eat rice."
"I'll buy you economy rice then."
"No, I want money to buy a pack of rice. You can give me any amount you like."
"I'm sorry. I see you still have money to buy cigarettes, you should be able to buy rice."
Well, how would you react to situation like this? I feel very sorry for the lady, I really do hope I could have contributed. But if everyone were to support her, she will not learn the survival skills in this world. I would gladly buy her something to eat, but I just don't trust money in her hands.
So, what would you do?
