who would you choose or how will you decide?

problem A.

a certain guy named "A" asked helped from "B" about a certain subject matter or something. "B" said that he was busy and could not help "A". Because of that, "A" got mad at "B" and telling him that he/she is a selfish person since he/she would not like to help "A". "B" responded in kind that "A" is the one selfish and not considerate of other peoples feelings or schedule... now i ask you "Who is selfish among them?"

Problem B

a beggar approaches you and ask for money? will you give the money, knowing that you are just encouraging him/her to beg again to other people or will you not give money that may force the beggar to commit a crime in order to survive? (i know that there is alternative ways like giving the beggar food or bringing him or her to a shelter station for help, but if you only had those two choices, which would you choose among them??)

i am giving these questions knowing that i will encounter similar events like these i wish to be somewhat prepared for this kinds of problems. share your wisdom or comments on these matter folks... thanks

first of all, everyone IS accountable for his/her own problems. this is truth, not an opinion.

that said, for problem A
help is NOT granted. even among friends. Since A is accountable for his/her own problems, he/she should be grateful that if anyone helps him/her. B told A he is busy, so A should not continuing bugging B

for problem B
the begger is accountable for his own problem, which led him to where he is now. you are not responsible for his situation, therefore, you are not required to give him any money. If he goes committe a crime, it is not anything but BY HIS OWN CHOICE. no money for him
