Today’s guest blogger is named Gustaf Linton, he lives in Lund.
My mom has always taught me that one shouldn’t give money to homeless people because they’ll just buy drugs with it. When I was little, I saw this as very sensible and I simply apologized and said that I had no money if they asked me for change. Of course, I always bought Aluma or whatever else they might be selling. But when I grew up and became a bit older, I realized that this was a totally absurd attitude to have. Of course they should get food, and you could just get it for them. The next time a stranger asked if I could give him some change for food, I told him to wait, and then I came back five minutes later with a cheese burger and a cup of coffee. It is rare to see someone so happy, especially over something so little.
