I once prescribed to the notion that it was wrong to give money to the homeless because it will just be used to feed some addiction. A friend challenged me on that by saying "who care?" Choose to give money or not to give money, who cares what they spend it on, or what they need to get through the day?
I think he was saying base the decision based on your own values and morals, but don't assume so you can make judgements about what they do with that money.
- fluoridation 2y agoThe correct answer to your friend was "I care". There's no inherently wrong way to decide whether to give money or not. If your friend doesn't base his decision on what they'll use the money on, that's fine, and if you do base it on that, that's also fine.
