Oh, no, I didn't go that for your comment, but it was just too close to that rhetoric, the kinda, "they make profit out of their disability!" that people love to use to not think about others situations. But yeah, I knew you didn't mean to say that.

please spare me some alms, look, I don't have hands anymore. Or: look at my baby, she's blind, please spare me alms. It's very hard to know what to think when speaking to people saying that. I've once been tempted to tell a woman who was begging in congested traffic with a very sick child to please take the child somewhere safer/less polluted, but what if she didn't have that option?

Yes, yes, of course. But yeah, I don't find that dishonest at all because of course, begging is already a hard situation by itself. I also think able-bodied/not-begging people aren't in a position to question anything, because you are right, a lot of people don't have choices at all. Mostly, yes, I think it would be better to examine the situation and help for structural changes that will really help people first when you are in a position of privilege.

And thank you again for answering!
