Thank you for sharing your thought...Nice post mate! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Though it gives us happiness (including me) to hand out money to the girl and other children who are working, it is not a good idea. Begging alms (child work) only gets encouraged. They get happy because they go and give back the money to their master/guardians/parents and they say "Very good Job, I am very happy!"<BR/><BR/>In my opinion and actions, best is to buy food and distribute to them or if you want to give money, give it to children NGO's started/affiliated by local church/ashram (if you look for one it's no difficult to find). Here the childrens are really looked after. Their food and education cared for.<BR/><BR/>God Bless us all!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343671293432191571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996791.post-86806138555368474692009-01-05T22:13:00.000-08:002009-01-05T22:13:00.000-08:00hey...cool one... loved the mastercard ad...made b...hey...cool one... loved the mastercard ad...made by u...<BR/><BR/>i too believe tht its better giving ppor n needy ones money thn in temple... my family does the smae.....on birthdays....or any festivals...rather thn giving 2 rs to ppor n put 100rs in temple we do the reverse.....we think the same thing....god has many ppl to give to him, who cares r these needy ones...Preksha Doshi Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034731297688556364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996791.post-413137535307069952008-12-13T20:12:00.000-08:002008-12-13T20:12:00.000-08:00The post was nice except where you make sweeping j...The post was nice except where you make sweeping judgements about right and wrong ".....which are quite correct, like non-killing of animals, non-violence etc."<BR/>I think it is ridiculous to comment on things that are integral to others especially when your belief stems merely from the indoctrination of your social surrounding since childhood!!!<BR/>I think Jains and many armies from rajasthan and gujarat were valiant warriors. How did the religiously pious society of yester centuries permit armies of slodiers if non-violence was categorically bad!!!!<BR/><BR/>Quick question: The terrorrist were wrong to kill innocent people indiscriminately not just for violence.But were the NSG commandos wrong to fight back and kill them?????
