The Fine Line between Enable and Help

Gave a homeless dude a ten dollar bill tonight. I got hammered for it. He went immediately into 7-11 and bought some food to fight his hunger...before he got to the cash register I had a guy come up to me and scream at me for giving to a homeless man..."You're not helping him...you are enabling him." He might be right...but tonight that man is eating well.

There might be a fine line...and I need to know more about it. But learning about it from books just isn't a possibility...you have to dive into the pool to learn about it...

More later...
