Born Again

You cannot help addicts by financing their habits. No one expects that of you.But generally speaking, you are stuck in a rut until your attitude regarding repentance changes, and left alone that might never happen.

Is that practical? If you buy a man food, you are enabling him to spend whatever other money he can panhandle on his true passion. I'll admit that I'm a lighter touch when someone asks me for food rather than money, but I also know that most of the homeless people I encounter have drug and/or alcohol problems. Your dad was a generous man, but in a practical sense, giving away food rather than cash is just a little easier on the conscience. That's your own personal philosophy, and not one I agree with. Yes, you should think before you give, but that shouldn't impede sharing.
