In today's world unfortunately people are shameless and are ready to abuse
people's symapthy. I see so many beggars, charity cases of people who don't need it but still do it because it's an easy buck. I'm have less and less sypamthy for people I don't know.
I guess that is one grave problem with people being reluctant to give.
They are unaware of someone's position in life or may be apprehensive of what the person may spend the money.

Sympathy is something really interesting as it seems to be something that is contagious. It spreads from one man to another as they feel they have the moral duty to do something loving towards someone else after they experience consolation themselves.
