The thing is around where I live the majority of the beggars do it for a living in of itself. We have shelters and food banks. You aren't going to freeze or starve to death.
Now when I visited India and saw beggars, it was a completely different feeling. Especially when you see kids on the streets begging. In these situations I tend to be callous, I really don't know a better way to be. Might come from being taken advantage of one too many times in life.
