Recently there have been reports of able bodied people begging on the streets as they pretend to be blind , deaf or physically disabled. Would you still help a beggar if you were to meet one today?
NO! The beggars should find something else to do other than sitting in the streets looking for easy money. This in a way is a show of laziness and people must avoid giving them money because you do not know whether he or she is genuine.

I will still help those whom I see as genuine like those without limbs. This is because I believe he or she cannot work to earn a living and therefore depend on help.

Yes I would still help them because I believe helping is all about me and not the beggar. It is not practically possible to evaluate how genuine the beggar is, so I just do it.
