“poor but honest.” “the deserving poor.” these words always come to my mind 1 i think of “the poor”.but i also think of people who,perhaps through alcohol or drugs,have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure.perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction really are “diseases” as many people say,but my own feeling- based,of course,not 2 any serious study—is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor”.and that is largely 3 i don’t give spare change to beggars.
but surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving”.deserving what?my spare change?or simply the government’s assistance?it happens that i have been brought up to believe that it is 4 to make contributions to charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)),but if i give some change to a beggar,am i making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone,or,am i perhaps simply 5 (encouragement) someone not to get help?or,maybe even worse,am i supporting a cheat?
