From insults to insights. #monomad

Greetings lovely members of the community.
I hope you all are well and enjoying quality time with your loved ones.

समुदाय के प्यारे सदस्यों को नमस्कार।
मुझे आशा है कि आप सभी अच्छे होंगे और अपने प्रियजनों के साथ गुणवत्तापूर्ण समय का आनंद ले रहे होंगे।

Encountering situations where children are raised with the belief that begging is their only recourse is undeniably disheartening. I once found myself in a peculiar scenario when a young girl and her mother approached me, seeking financial assistance. Regrettably, when I declined, the mother's reaction took an unexpected turn. She asserted that individuals like me were obligated to provide them with both money and food. To my surprise, the little girl joined in, hurling insults my way and expressing discontent for not offering immediate support. What struck me was the persistence in their pleas; they continued to berate me and even knocked on my car window, intensifying the encounter.

ऐसी स्थितियों का सामना करना जहां बच्चों को इस विश्वास के साथ बड़ा किया जाता है कि भीख मांगना ही उनका एकमात्र सहारा है, निस्संदेह निराशाजनक है। एक बार मैंने खुद को एक अजीब परिदृश्य में पाया जब एक युवा लड़की और उसकी मां वित्तीय सहायता मांगने के लिए मेरे पास आईं। अफ़सोस, जब मैंने मना कर दिया तो माँ की प्रतिक्रिया में अप्रत्याशित मोड़ आ गया। उन्होंने जोर देकर कहा कि मेरे जैसे व्यक्तियों का दायित्व है कि मैं उन्हें पैसे और भोजन दोनों मुहैया कराऊं। मुझे आश्चर्य हुआ, जब छोटी लड़की भी इसमें शामिल हो गई, उसने मुझे अपमानित किया और तत्काल सहायता न देने पर असंतोष व्यक्त किया। जिस बात ने मुझे प्रभावित किया वह थी उनकी दलीलों में दृढ़ता; उन्होंने मुझे डांटना जारी रखा और यहां तक ​​कि मेरी कार की खिड़की पर भी दस्तक दी, जिससे मुठभेड़ तेज हो गई।

I felt really confused and surprised by what happened. Some families expect help and get upset when they don't get it. I understand it's tough for them, but it's strange to think strangers have to give them things.The situation made me think a lot about why it happened and what causes these problems. It made me realize we need better systems to help families. Kids shouldn't grow up believing begging is the only choice, and parents shouldn't have to teach them that it's normal. We need to find ways to support families so they don't feel desperate, and kids can have better options for their future. It's important to work together to create a world where everyone has a chance for a good life.

जो कुछ हुआ उससे मैं सचमुच भ्रमित और आश्चर्यचकित महसूस कर रहा था। कुछ परिवार मदद की उम्मीद करते हैं और जब उन्हें मदद नहीं मिलती तो वे परेशान हो जाते हैं। मैं समझता हूं कि यह उनके लिए कठिन है, लेकिन यह सोचना अजीब है कि अजनबियों को उन्हें चीजें देनी होंगी।स्थिति ने मुझे इस बारे में बहुत सोचने पर मजबूर किया कि ऐसा क्यों हुआ और इन समस्याओं का कारण क्या है। इससे मुझे एहसास हुआ कि हमें परिवारों की मदद के लिए बेहतर प्रणालियों की आवश्यकता है। बच्चों को यह विश्वास करते हुए बड़ा नहीं होना चाहिए कि भीख मांगना ही एकमात्र विकल्प है, और माता-पिता को उन्हें यह नहीं सिखाना चाहिए कि यह सामान्य है। हमें परिवारों की सहायता करने के तरीके खोजने होंगे ताकि वे हताश महसूस न करें और बच्चों को अपने भविष्य के लिए बेहतर विकल्प मिल सकें। एक ऐसी दुनिया बनाने के लिए मिलकर काम करना महत्वपूर्ण है जहां हर किसी को अच्छे जीवन का मौका मिले।

Most definitely this leaves one feeling confused when confronted, years ago I would purchase food, noticed this was merely thrown into a dirt bin, they wanted money.

Our region have groups feeding the hungry through various churches or private organizations. Local residents have been asked not to give money ever, it is creating a bigger problem especially where drugs or alcohol are involved.

Don't feel guilty, rather find the right people to donate to, they do have the means of distributing food, especially to the children where parents often send them out to beg, then use to fuel their addiction.

Totally get it, been there myself. It's genuinely disheartening and kinda makes you feel foolish buying food only to see it tossed away.
I'm also glad to know there are groups in your area making organised efforts to tackle hunger. It's wise that they're telling locals not to hand out money directly, especially given the issues with substance abuse. Thank you for your thoughtful comment!

Of late we have what we call Tidy Towns where homeless are employed to assist in cleaning and get paid, everyone contributes a little to help the effort. Have a wonderful day, working together for a better future for all!

What a fantastic initiative! Providing employment opportunities for the homeless while contributing to community cleanliness is truly commendable. It not only gives a sense of purpose and dignity to those in need but also empowers them. Kudos to you for making a positive impact! 🙌
