It does :) It feels like the overwhelming majority of the people is super generous and really likes to help each other out. I wish people were like that in real life (and like, all the people - I'm not saying that KofK users aren't like that in real life, but there's unfortunately a bunch of other people around out there ;))!

it's a little easier to be generous online though; the stakes aren't as high. When you pass by someone who is homeless IRL and know it's a choice of giving them the money you just earned with an extra job so they can eat... or spending it on the celebration food for your household's holiday like you intended when you got the job.... you hope you'll let them eat, but it's still a harder choice than it is when you see a post by someone who wishes for an item online, and you know that if you give them that item you don't have to give up the thought of celebrating the holidays that year. It's just a different dynamic.

It's not always the case that you either feed the poor and starve yourself or you don't feed them and get guilty celebrations :') For example I just don't trust the homeless people. 99% cases they want money for alcohol. Some are honest and will tell you that straight forward. And usually that honesty touches people and they give their money. Others will lie about their intent. If Ash gets asked for money, he offers to actually buy food, and usually the homeless person doesn't take the offer. I once got asked for money, but the man didn't smell of alcohol and was sounding like a normal, eloquent person, so I gave him some cash I had on me. Then I facepalmed, because I had an untouched sandwich in my purse and could've given him that as well... I just forgot to death about it until I was very close to home... :mcsweat: The difference between that man and any other hobo to me was, he didn't repulse me. Don't get me wrong, I really pity the homeless, but in most cases it was their life choices that led them to that state. They make the choice to not go to shelters for homeless. It's tragic.
You can also be generous to other people, the ones around you. It doesn't have to be a person in special need, like a homeless or an orphan.
Which reminds me, I could join the "Christmas gifts for the needy" action at work...

That wasn't a random example, that was what happened to me yesterday; and we would never have starved just from missing that. We just won't have the holiday food (which is more expensive and why I picked up that job). I'll think of something else for us, instead. We can celebrate with other things that won't cost us money.

I was just making things simple, I didn't actually think about starving XD Bad choice of words, for lack of better, I guess.
It's very noble of you to have shared your goods. I just shared my point of view and that for me, it really depends.
Not too long ago we were grocery shopping and this homeless person asked us for cash to buy himself food. We only had a card so Ash told him he'd gladly buy him something, but after we finish our shopping first. The guy walked away. Later I saw him by the check out, with a bottle of alcohol. So he asked for money for food, but his intent was to buy alcohol. You see what I mean.

Fair enough.

Hmmm I need to think of a way to simplify this task coming up, come to that. In about half an hour I'm meeting a bunch of other family members at my grandparents' and we're going to try and finish going through the attic. It's going to be a mess....

I agree on that with mem. A lot of the time I see homeless people just sitting around asking for money. Or they'll be even getting aggressive and angry on the Tube if no one gives them anything.

On the other hand, I also see people who busk, perform tricks or dance, draw street art on the pavement, stand holding signs for local businesses, and so on. Even if you're doing something ultimately pointless like drawing something that will be washed away tomorrow, at least you're DOING something. For that I'm much more likely to give a little money.

But I also do a mental thought process when I feel guilty about not giving money to a homeless person when I'm walking around London. I look down at myself and think, okay, how much money do I have? These shoes are new but I bought them in the sale because I couldn't afford full price. These jeans are the cheapest line I could find. I've had this shirt for 10 years. I've had this jumper since uni. This scarf was a present. And I go on like that. When I look at myself and realise I can't afford to buy new clothes properly, especially when I work in fashion, then I don't feel as guilty. I prefer to set myself up, get myself sorted out, and hopefully in the future I won't be struggling for the basics and I can give more.

I would actually like to do charitable work at some point when I have more funds. Like hold galas and fundraisers or maybe start a foundation.

TLDR I clearly have serious guilt issues about not giving to homeless people that I have to try really hard to justify to myself :'D
