sometimes I hate that I care about people too much

I'm not a religious person nor do i follow a religion. I think they are all corrupt and have been used (still being used) as a tool to oppress people. However, I do pray for others. I'm walking down the street and I see someone in need. I have the strongest urge to give them a dollar or some food. Yesterday, I saw someone asking for some money. He claimed it was for "food." I went to a local subways restaurant and bought a sandwich for him. Dude started complaining that it had mayonnaise when I gave it to him. So he didn't want the sandwich. Even with that, I had the urge to pray that this person gets the helps he needs to get off the streets. It annoys me that I care for people that don't deserve shit.

I heard about someone doing something similar. Offering a sandwich to someone on the street and the lady asked him what it was for and he said he thought she wanted food due to the sign she was holding up and she said she didn’t need it she needed booze. 😩 my family and I once tried to give homeless people a bag full of snacks and they didn’t even want to take it for the same reason. 🤷‍♀️ So, now I just don’t have the time. Lol especially in Florida we’re having so many of them at streetlights begging now a lot of them aren’t even homeless it was on the news the other day how a lot of people are just taking advantage and they plan on stopping it some how. I have no issue ignoring them 😬 I literally don’t have the money to give and the time. I never carry cash and I’m always in a rush.

@Stark here in Central Florida it really feels like I'm seeing them about half the time i leave the house anymore. I don't carry cash on me anymore either so I can't just give that out. But also I don't know who is actually needy and who is trying to take advantage of people's kindness.
@ViciDraco I didn’t know you lived in Florida too 😱

@Stark Orlando area. I did not realize you had moved back.
@ViciDraco yeah, I moved back about three years ago (:
I hope you’re staying safe. I haven’t heard much about Orlando with this hurricane but I did hear it was heading towards there. 🤔
