I do that too. I like street performers and sometimes even wish there would be more (not poor, of course). They make the place much nicer. Sometimes the music is even great. I don'…

Thank you for sharing. I will probably use your advice. Sometimes. And other times, I think it's still better to offer food, blanket or a ticket instead of money, just as people ex…

I'm not sure I'll have the courage to speak. For example, one lady claims that her daughter got injured in a terrorist attack and for years now she is undergoing expensive medical …

Good point. Why? Because I was poor too a long time ago. Neither I or my family begged for money, but worked really hard to get it. I sympathize, I guess. No one knows how it feels…

It's not my duty but helping someone in need, someone who asks you for help, is our duty. Just like you help a tourist. You help because you can.

That's a good tip. Thanks!

Good idea. What do you think I can do when I'm on a train and there is nothing I can do but to give money? That where I get to hear most of the touchy stories.

Seems interesting to try. I'm used to watch TV shows in order to disconnect. Working out sounds like a good idea but I'm a little bit lazy. So I might try this advice. What games c…

Thanks for the post! I didn't know such conversation existed. Diving into it to learn some more stuff. This post is relevant because Sheldrake's talk on Ted was banned from Ted. Yo…

Maybe it's because as Sheldrake says, you can't prove or disproof those dogmas. Anyway, I hope that one day scientists will learn to question everything. Even the very foundation o…

I also found this interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR1SLQwHDog&feature=youtube_... He tells in words what I have felt for a long time already.

Why do we blindly believe that matter is unconscious? Or that nature is purposeless?? Because the science tells us so and also tells us to believe in many other so called "facts" w…

I'm glad you didn't urinate on your niece. I heard about it as well but never knew if it's real or not. This might help: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-u…
