Poor people are always found everywhere
whether in the city, town or country. Most have no stable source of living ​and just beg around when opportunity comes.
​In poverty not because they're lazy
but because they were born ​to poor families who own no houses or any properties, who never went to school, who couldn't find a permanent job. It's not their fault to be poor and being poor is never a sin. That's why you have no right to insult them or mistreat them in any way ​especially when they do no harm.
If someday somewhere
one of them approaches you and ask, don't hesitate, don't refuse. Give something ​and never leave him empty handed. Even if you have a little, you can always share a little something than not share at all. Giving to the poor pleases the Holy One ​and washes away your sins.
Begging may annoy you
but beggars can't force you to give if you choose not to but never get to the point of telling them to "go away and find a job" or "you're strong enough for any work, so go ahead and apply". Such words are oftentimes heard but they degrade and humiliate much. It's not ideal and it's not right. Remember that when you have something, ​it's your duty to give away ​a part to the poor because God wants it that way - ​it's loving your fellowmen.
Help your fellow now
and someday you will be helped too when you need one. That's how karma works - what you do to others ​be done to you someday. Don't be too proud about your riches that you lose the heart to share it, or you might wake up the next day ​poor and in debt as if a furious storm passed you by ​and left you in ruins.
