While I was driving down for a function with my family, I heard a conversation between my daughter and my wife. My daughter, upon seeing the beggars on the road, asked her mom "Why do they ask for money", to which her mom replied "because they have to buy food to eat", in a manner that the child would understand. To this the little one asked another question,"why don't we give them some money then"?. Her mom told her that we cannot give them everyday.
Later, when we were returning home, my daughter insisted that we give some money to an old man on the road who walked up to us. She gave him few coins and said "Today he will have food to eat".
I think every child thinks in the same way. If everyone thought like children there would be no poverty. There are millions of people with so much money, who can spare a little for the needy.
Have a great day!
