Begging with Sincerity.

Have you ever thought of people begging with sincerity? Hmm, this might interest you. I have seen beggers in different parts of the world, but the beggars i've seen in Austin, Texas have really kept me thinking about so many things. I have gone to some places in Austin seeing beggars with their cardbords and their words stated "Why lie? I need a beer". Any person who sees this will believe the beggar is joking!! but seriously, this beggar needs a beer. Out of curiousity, I walked up to a beggar and asked a few questions about his words on his cardboard and he told me, it was wrong to receive the money and used it for something else when he requested it for a beer. Huuhhh, I laughed and he said; so are you going to give me a dollar? I laughed and said no, I will give you five dollars but not for a beer. He smiled and said; I will be sincere with you, I will definately use about three dollars for food but two dollars for the beer. I said fine and gave him the five dollars. This still leaves me thinking of a lot because before now, i believe all beggars lie. A common beggar in Lagos state in Nigeria will give various stories, which people have heard all around and know are lies. But, what comes on my mind now is, do people give more when you lie or when you say the truth? I think begging with sincerity is good!
