Beggars

A beggar is a person who begs for their sustenance; but a person who begs ​thus ​ may not be a beggar. A beggar is a person who is down and out, ​ down on their fortune and ​ ​out of ​ resources​,​  and unable to​ ​ continue ​living without help​ . A beggar thus ultimately resorts ​against suicide ​ to forsaking their dignity​ ​ ​and begin begging to survive, by soliciting alms from others who are kind enough. ​ When abject poverty befalls the unfortunates, how else do they avoid slipping into beggary. 

Being a beggar is thus not an occupation of choice; it is also not conceivable that anyone wants to be a beggar. ​A person has to be at their wits end to begin begging​ against their i​nherent ​​righteousness. A quote from an old Japanese proverb, "It is a beggar's pride that he is not a thief." However confidence tricksters often infiltrate the grounds of beggars. ​They act like beggars and prey on the unsuspecting kind people. ​ These confidence tricksters are not difficult to identify; their accoutrement and demeanor​ ​ do give them away. ​Other tell-tale signs are ​their personal hygiene, gait and conduct. Engaging them in conversation can be the last resort .

 Giving alms to a beggar is a virtuous act, unwittingly giving alms to a conman lends support to a social parasite, a devious one.
