This is a sequel to my previous post: “A man is known by the things he shares”
My post on “To Beg Or Not To Beg” opened with the following words:
“If beggary is one of the oldest professions, alms-giving is the inventor of that profession. Blaming charity for disgracing human dignity on the streets may sound like a radical thinking.”
Radical it is, but not irrational. I was willing to take the flak. Here’s some of that, and how I responded:
“For f__k’s sake this scenario is the canonical to setup to ending up buried in a basement. The blinding display of privilege here is just mind boggling.”
Another critic of my sincere and benign help to the homeless kid was a lot more hostile using terms like “rape”, “murder” and asking me “how ignorant I was?”
My humble response to those vitriolic comments eventually made him delete his comment. I guess it was out of guilt, which his ego will never admit. Guilt, because my response to his aggression weren't hostile, but tolerant and cordial.
Your words are a reflection of who you are.
Here’s how I responded.
Firstly, thank you very much for the criticism that I was looking for. It helps me grow, so I was the first one to applaud your comment ☺
Secondly, my current blogging activity is themed “share your influence” to “change the world” of the impoverished using a radically new approach. We preferred creating memes for visual communications. So the text that goes with it is not intended to tell the whole story.
Thirdly, I am sure your perception would change if you knew the circumstances were far from the modus operandi of any of those evil characters that your mind generated. Jumping to a malicious conclusion and placing a pedophile, a rapist or a murderer in the circumstances that you barely have any reason to suspect makes your world a very scary place. Talking of suspicion, it is in fact your suspicion that creates what you suspect.
I live in a world where every man I meet is a gentleman unless proven otherwise. That’s how our world remains functional and happy place. I don’t know if you live in such a scary place where you make monsters of every person you bump into.
Fourthly, I know my thinking on charity and poverty is quite radical challenging the status quo. So it's bound to invite criticism. But I am here for a healthy conversation on the status quo, and not a hostile confrontation over trivial details of personal nature.
Finally, I urge you to bear with me for a few more posts and just give me that tiny benefit of doubt that you can afford, before you conclude whether my proposition is helping or harming the impoverished.
