There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a .

This situation continued for a few months, until the owner to give the homeless man a job which sweeping outside the shop.

The homeless man did a/an job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to the finance for the whole shop.
To my , this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner . In his will, he only had one , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man.

It seems not to give some money to beggars.
, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed?

As a young social worker in a New York City psychiatric clinic, I was asked to see Roz, a 20-year-old woman who had been referred to us from another psychiatric clinic. It was an referral in that no information was received her first appointment. I was told to “play it by ear”, and to what her problems were and what she needed.
an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed, rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she making important changes in her life.
The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began our successful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick, a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was “paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)”, with a that she was “hopeless”.
That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper. I never treated her as if she had that “hopeless” treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.
First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult . After several months of working together, she introduced me to her husband-to-be, a successful businessman who adored her.
When we our treatment, Roz gave me the gift of a silver bookmark and a note that said, “Thank you for believing and encouraging me.”
