Is begging a profession or compulsion?

[WhoYouCantKill]

I don't want to believe this is true, how do you compare to a profession, this is pure evil that could confine someone jail time for life, first a case of kidnapping and then physically abusing the victims to a state of helplessness, even if it is done willingly, it is a punishable offense.

How can begging generate more money than someone working with all parts of their body intact, same underdeveloped countries others are still having difficulty taking care of their own needs, how much do they have to spare for beggars.

That is what some people does for a living, they beg to survive and funny enough, this method sustain them because there is no other way for them to keep surviving. And I think begging its for people that are lazy to work, instead of them to work and help themselves, they choose to rely on others for survival and that's really not a good idea because, the worst part of it is that people who are completely okay are even begging instead of working. So the thing is that one can help the helpless but have to challenge the workless.

If I see any human being with their full part of the body and I realized that they are Beggars honestly i don't feel like helping them because I see no reason why they should be begging because if people with disability can be seen doing laborer then what other excuses will this such person tell me when someone with disability is busy making money to survive then someone with full body does not have any excuses. Some people use that means to survive which I see as a very wrong move because if eventually you are sick and you can't be able to go out how can you survive it or will they tell me that the savings is still there, because most of the are very rich not that rich but if you see them and their properties you will be surprised.

Exclusively looking at it from the OP's explanations, you will be able to understand that the engineers designing people for this specific task sees begging as a life saving opportunity and believes if they could do so to this people through them they can generate money on the process.  But this same people failed to understand that it is the lifes of people they are putting in danger all because of there own selfish interest which is never a good idea. Know matter the amount generated on the process of begging,  there is know way begging can be considered a job opportunity and even in my next life I will never accept that thinking because it can never  become a source of income for anyone.

Some people are just naturally lazy and greedy, dan will do all they can, all they do is to cease opportunity from anywhere they can just for them to get the money they want and continue to explore ways of retaining the resources to fund there lazy lifestyle.
Poverty rate in a country can equally increase begging, when money is not in circulation as it should be due to inflation.
Lack of proper budget that meets the need of the people creat room for such a life style among citizens where they needs to sort for there own livihood.
Health challenges also can make a person to beg mostly when they don't have any person to depend on for support, this makes walk, seats around seeking for help

Begging is not a profession; it’s just a way for the disabled to ask for help so that they can survive since they are not able to work for themselves due to one disability or another, but there are those who are commercialising it, using every tricky means necessary to beg. Those are extortion by false pretences and should not be regarded as gambling.

[hafiztalha]

When you see someone found in a condition of begging, we have to first consider the reason behind it, because some never wish to beg but circumstances may change and warrant for them to require an emergency help and they can only achieve things by trying to solve it for financial assistance, while on the other hand, some people are only just being lazy to work and do something worthwhile, do you have limited themselves not to be able to make it or deliver to the world than to solicit for help from those that already have enough, this is as a result of laziness and wrong mentality about life.

I don't agree that the people who beg are lazy or they may have wrong mentality people are poor and the poverty is based on many factors that are not in control of an individual like disability or unemployment or lack of education maybe mental illness. I have seen people who are very hard working but there comes a time when they have no choice rather than asking someone for their help. We as a society should be focused on creating opportunities for them making education accessible and employment opportunities for them. Everyone who is begging have same mentality. There are very small number of people who find it easy to beg rather than to work so we cannot generalize them.

In a normal sense begging can never be seen as a profession but compulsion, currently with the ways some kind countries is experiencing hardship, everything is possible in this that due to hardship in those countries, instead of people to engage on what can give them a daily income, decide to be going out every blessed day just to beg within the society, for example, my country is among, because the number of beggers keep increasing within the 36 states, and this set of beggers come from one  particular side, and yet government are not seeing reason to stop or reduce the level of beggers in my end.

[noorman0]

In my country, beggars can be professionals. You're used to seeing middle-aged people, fully equipped and fit, knocking on doors to beg for something. There are even some underdeveloped areas where the majority of the population engages in this profession.

A trending term right now is online begging (accepting challenges to do stupid things while livestreaming in exchange for gifts). This is relatively new, but some people around me have already started shamelessly.

In some part of the world beggers are no longer people with disabilities there are people out there who are jobless and beggers on the street who depend on begging for survival, since they do not have any source of income they choose begging for a living since they are feeding from it. Those who use tricky means to beg are not left out cause they are all beggers who do not have enough to take care of themselves but you see those who have enough but beg because they are gamblers they are professionals at what they do and I don't support them.

There are two kinds of beggars, those who beg because of their disability and how those who have turned begging into a commercial practice. Beggars who are begging because of one disability or the other I believe the government should find a solution towards taking a good care of those people who have find themselves in those conditions and cannot help themselves. In this situation, I expect the government to always intervene by firstly identifying them through a proper channel. It does not have to be a ministry but even a directorate of people with disability when given a strong attention can cover the suffering whereas for those engaging in begging for its commercial plan and I see it as a means to collect money in hands of people. It’s completely unfair

I saw an Indian vlogger “ Dhruv Rathee” , the name might have spelling mistake. He said that there are begging gangs especially in underdeveloped nations who compel people for begging. They kidnap kids and women and make them disable by cutting their feet, hands or make them blind by putting chemicals in their eyes or throw acid on their face and then give them an area where they starts there duty from morning to evening. There are some night shift beggars as well in the areas which are open 24/7.  Recently I heard from an expert that 94 percent of beggars are professionals while the rest are compelled to ask for begging. What is your perspective about begging and what steps are required for the government in order to avoid such type of beggars?

It is possible that healthy people can be intentionaly disabled just to use them for business, because the world is full of wickedness and cruel hearted people. No wounder why deformed beggers are everywhere. I have thought about this yet my instincts keep telling me this are not just ordinary beggers, my instincts where right afterall. Although I have heard that in some parts of the world that children are forced to beg because of the level of poverty in their family, but I haven't heard of this kind of situation of forcefully blinding and disabling children just to use them for ulterior motives.

The only way government can stop this is by banning roadside beggers, because if they aprehend some of this guys they will relocate to another position or use another set of people. But if there no beggers anywhere then the idea of profession begging will end.

Hence there is an outright Ban on begging by the government, those people committing kidnap and child abuse would stop. It is because they saw that nobody has confronted them with a Ban, that's why they still perpetrating such evil. OP if this information your giving is anything to go by, then the government of India needs to be up and doing in confronting such level of atrocious act against human beings, how barbaric can human being be their fellow human being.

This is a high level inhuman for a person or group of people to treat there fellow humans this way in the pursuit of money.
It is happening every where all over the world, just that the method and rate at which it done is different from each other, children trafficking is in the increase and the government have not implemented a strong policy that will reduce it operation and that is why the level at which human and child trafficking is on the rise.

There are people who are beggars and they take advantage of the people being kind but it is not simplified to say that the beggars are simply lazy or they may have wrong mentality, there are people who beg but still they are willing to work but due to certain circumstances they are facing barriers such as they may be old age they might have disability or mental illness they might not be well educated or the other multiple reasons that does not give them a job,  there are people who do job but still they end up begging because of the high cannot meet their needs with their salaries. Begging is a profession for multiple people  and they are exploiting the generosity of the people but for certain people it is the last option.

The truth is that, you just might not be able to know the exact reason why some people are begging. I have a lot of beggars where I live, I mean I see them whenever I go out, Some are crippled, some are very healthy children, some are very healthy women, carrying babies on their hands. But one thing about me is that, I love to help people, but that's only when I'm moved to do so. Sometimes I see some moves that these beggars use as emotional blackmail, and I hate emotional blackmail, so I don't help people with money when I know that begging is your profession, but when I know that you really need the help.

I get your point. The truth is that it’s not everyone who begs are lazy, and it is not everyone who begs truly need help. That is why it is advisable not to judge anyone by their look. So for me, I believe people should use wisdom before helping anyone. If you notice someone use all in the name of pity or  emotional blackmail to collect money everyday from you, it will make you not to be comfortable to give them anymore. But if you see that the person is truly going through serious hardship and your mind pushes you to help, you can help it’s not wrong.  Helping doesn’t necessarily mean that you must give someone money. You may decide to buy food, give them clothes, or even direct the person to who will  support them. The main thing is that we can have compassion on people but don’t allow anyone take advantage of your good heart.

Disability is not an excuse for people to commercialize begging. My pair of eyes have seen disabled doing some mini jobs in the street to get paid. For instance, fixing of shoes, watches etc. These are the type of disabled that need patronizing and help. When i come across them on the street, i feel encouraged by their boldness to be able to provide a service instead of sitting down begging. I often tip them on my way.

I can accept health condition as a justifiable reasons for begging but apart from that i don't see any other reasons capable of giving one any chance to go into begging because it can never become a profession.
Some are faced with series of incurable disease that there only option is to beg for survival, which is consider justifiable but apart from such situation the rest are as a result of stupidity and laziness.
I don't and will never for any reason identify begging as a profession because all has problems but there ability to face there fears and stand out for themselves is what qualifies them to be who they are

You are right. I have also seen some of those beggars being very creative and not allowing their disabilities to be a hindrance to them. Some of them use that begging to raise funds, which they then invest in something that can fetch them money instead of relying on someone given to them first before they can eat. They try to work for the money; even if they are being patronised out of pity, they still have something to offer and are good at what they are offering.
