"Money is the root of all evil"...

I saw a disturbing scene this morning that affected my mood.. I decided to skip breakfast..

At PL MRT station this morning, I saw this guy who looks a little low IQ asking for S$1 from every passerby.. He says he need S$1 for bus fare.. Is he desire for money, or greed for money?? Not many gives.. Maybe 1 out of 20.. Does this mean Singaporean have no sympathy? Would you give him that dollar? If you give, are you falling into his trick?
