I am sitting at a very popular coffee outlet. A lady and a handicapped child walks in and starts asking for donation. I have seen her often. The same lady and the same child….asking money for a charity house. Another Buddhist monk wanders around this area as well. He loves to hit the cup with a “thing” sound with his stick. When he entered the coffee outlet, the barista asked him to go away. And he got angry about it. After all, what is wrong of walking into a popular coffee outlet and putting his cup right under your nose when you are busy typing away at your laptop?Why should he be bothered about disturbing you? He needs the money right….I wonder. I see him often. And a Buddhist monk getting angry…When you do not donate, you can see his sour expression. Who knows? He might be cursing you to damnation and beyond. ….but, people still refuse

Young boys carrying baskets of “old” items selling for double or triple the actual prices haunt this popular area as well. They say that they need the money for school.  A gang of them! In case you are wondering, this place is supposed to have rich residents…..

What is the truth?What would you do?Donate? Or would you say no? Any personal experience of this kind?
