RE: Art Explained By A Writer - Ciego popular en Cádiz
That was a smartarse and he learned that if he asks everyone it's an easy income. You should have asked him to have a bite. Keep an eye on him or next time take it out of his hands and say: thanks for buying this for me, it's appreciated.
I experienced the same. We have Romanians "begging" with the entire family. They arrive in BMW and earn easily 500 euros per week per person if not more. No need to pay taxes and the villas they build are glitter and gold... the real beggars are scared away (read: threatened away).
For the boy (painting) it might be an exciting experience or who knows he loves acting. Let's be fair: how many will pay a ticket to a theatre?
A great Friday.
It's true that real beggars are scared away because this fake one's confuses us, there are people out there without support who genuinely need this alms, for the young boy I don't think he should try it out if he does he won't stop, nobody will pay to see him act because he never tried it out, 500 euros every weeks is huge for those without hard labour apart from the heat from the sun, I give to beggars but in rare cases because I have seen one that own a home because of begging

We are more careful today as well if it comes to aid. It feels as if they aren't happy (grateful) and my children have been several times harrassed and even scolded as they gave some money. Perphaps an apple or sandwich is better?
A sandwich is better some mistook us to be rich, I feel the better getting satisfied is what pushes them to all this

Yes, it might be better. My youngest said the beggar told her not to be so greedy and give all the cash but she needed the rest to pay the bus back home. Tje truth is she rarely has breakfast and her first meal is if she's back from school (most cases om or later).
I told her not to give again and keep the money for herself. My son had similar experiences, van be it's the city?
I only see them here on the market but I believe the men make the women beg. They watch them from a distance. A pregnant young girl once approached me. I bought us food. She asked for money but said she was hungry so I gave her my seat and plate and stood behind her. I saw the angry face of that guy but at least she had a meal. I was shocked as I saw how hungry she felt.
In principal I don't give to smokers, drug addicts and alcoholics. Once I did to a guy on the parkinglot of the hospital. He helped me to find a free place, watched my car and I spoke with him. He showed his tumor in the abdomen. No doctor would help him so I thought he should buy what makes him feel good for the moment even if it's alcohol. He was kind and good company and what he needed most was someone to listen.
Once a neighbour asked me for money to buy groceries. I said I had none but food and more in the pantry and she could take her shopping bag and take what she needed (she had a baby and so did I). She said: no thanks.
What to think about that?
