I feel bad that I have become pretty cold to these people. The last couple times some beggar complained how hungry they were, I offered to share my lunch with them--choose between the apple and banana, take one of the two sandwiches, heck, take the whole bag of carrots & celery. But, no, they only wanted the money. I'm packing my own lunch for financial reasons (in addition to time and health), why would I pay for your lunch to be more expensive than my own? It may also by naïve, but even if you prefer money for drugs, don't you still want to have some free food? Then all your own money can go to drugs, rather than a (small) portion having to go to food to enable survival to the next chance to use drugs.
