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.

Aren't you doing the same thing he did? You are rejecting him because he didn't fit the reaction that you wanted from him. i agree with you that if i'm really hungry on the street than i wouldn't give a fck if the sandwich someone gave to me had mayonnaise or not and i'd atleast thank them.

I don't believe in charity like this because it is almost always wasted on the wrong people.

i remember i was given a 50$ gif card to subway by someone i didn't want anything from so i decided to give it to someone else. I was downtown at the library and there was a mom and son that looked homeless just sitting at a table with a bunch of bags around them and i should have given them the 50$ subway card but i felt too shy to go up to them. And i waited until it was getting late and they left. On my way back home i ran into someone trying to sling phone cases next to the traxline and i just asked him if he wanted the gift card and he took it and i bet a hundred dollars that he tried selling that card to someone else for some money to buy whatever he was on.

@Lostpoet I wasn't rejecting him, just annoyed that I could had bought that for someone who actually needed it more but I get what are saying. To give support regardless of the outcome. Don't expect a thank you

@empanadas The want to help others shows that you have a good heart. The fact that you got mad because they were negative means you are judgmental. You can't change people you can only accept them for what they are and i hope you never have to experience what it feels like to be on the street. What you did is a good thing don't let my comment on Here affect you negatively.

@Lostpoet tbh people need to be held accountable for not having common curiosity. If someone is being nice to you then you are rude to them as a response then how you do expect to be feel good that you wasted money on someone who didn't really need the food like they claimed? Meanwhile someone actually needs. pretty judgemental to think I'm coming at this from an outside of view

tbh, that's some third reich view point to me.

Can i ask you what you do for a living?
