Beggars Must Not Be Choosers

Beggars earn their livelihood by begging. By begging, they have to accept whatever is given to them. They cannot hope to choose from the alms given to them. Alms differ from meager things to those that count. But whatever is given, the beggar accepts them uncomplainingly. Likewise if we are living on the kindness of others or hold a job that was secured with much difficulty, we have to bear with patience all difficulties that come with it. Otherwise we may find ourselves with no job. But if we have enough money to love on, we can consider the worth of the job. If the salary is less, we can demand more. The morel we should understand our own position before taking daring or risky steps. Hasty and haughty action will bring calamities and sorrows. Even if we are not in a helpless position, it is always good to think twice before we act.
