Homeless

Its sad when I look at a beggar or a homeless person, and I need to question if he really is someone who is homeless and in need, or if he is a fake, just trying to rip people of their cash. What led up to this point? Why can't I see a beggar and say this money will definatly go to a good cause in helping this poor guy out. Is this skeptism a bad thing? Is it just me? I think that the reason this happened is obviously because some jokers do try to cheat us of our hard earned cash. I drove up next to a beggar the other day by Kahala Mall. I wanted to give him something for some reason. I never give beggars anything because of what I said above. The light was still red and I just remembered I had a huge box of Nutri-Grain bars in the backseat (Costco of course). I grabbed one from the back and was ready to open the window. My plan was to crack the window, and throw the bar to him as the light turned green. I didn't exactly want to hang around after I gave it to him, so I did as I planned. Making the U turn around his post, I heard a "GOD BLESS YA MAN!" It didn't make me feel any different. I am still unsure if he was really homeless and had no food. Do I feel good about it? I'm not sure. The questioning of his authenticity really kills the good deal feeling for me. I wish I could be more sure that my money goes to a good cause.
