I'd be interested to know how often people walk past Big Issue sellers, and what their reaction is. I walk past three or four a day, usually twice.
I'm not a reader, as I've said elsewhere, so have no desire to buy the magazine, and I do support my own charities of choice. Should I put some money in their pocket anyway? If so, each of them? Every day? Once a week, or how often? What would you do?
I ask in connection with the thread about the poor girl who was raped because she did not have enough money for her last bus home. The general concensus is that we should look after our fellow human beings, and show our worth to society by doing so. I agree, but what about when being faced regualrly with needy people? Where would you draw the line with your financial support?
