The Dread of Mendicancy

இரந்து கேட்பதனால் உள்ளதை ஒளிப்பவரிடத்தில் சென்று இரக்க வேண்டுடாம் என்று இரப்பவர் எல்லோரையும் இரந்து வேண்டுகின்றேன்.

கையில் உள்ளதை மறைத்து இல்லை என்போரிடம் கையேந்த வேண்டாமென்று கையேந்துபவர்களையெல்லாம் கையேந்திக்கேட்டு கொள்கிறேன்

The speaker makes a humble request to people who must beg. Some people have enough but hide it and claim otherwise. The advice is to avoid those who hide their means. It concerns people who refuse to share, not those who have nothing.

Personal

When you need food, avoid asking someone who hides their supplies and claims to have none.

Workplace

Seek needed supplies from coworkers who share, not those who hide available stock.

Family

Ask willing relatives for help, rather than those who hide what they could spare.

Society

Direct people needing meals toward groups willing to share their food.

Decision-making

When help is necessary, consider who is willing to give.

Integrity

Do not hide what you have and falsely claim you cannot help.

Communication

Gently guide people toward willing helpers when they must ask for support.

Leadership

Help those in need find people who will share what they have.

Governance

Guide people needing food toward services that openly offer available support.

When people need support, guide them toward willing helpers. Do not send them to those who hide available help.

“When you need help today, who could you approach who is willing to share?”
