I want to give them money but since my childhood my parents pretty much told me that they are all either faking it or are too lazy to go to work for money. I mean, I guess they can go to work but not everyone gets accepted to work as easy as it sounds like.

      Or what if we support anyone who can help in the way that they are able and feel comfortable helping?

      Trying to help, helps, even if they aren’t helping how you think they should.

      Sure - if your alternative is doing nothing. It’s not like he’s saying giving money to beggars is immoral, it’s just amoral.

        Amoral means not morally relevant. Something that is morally neutral is not amoral, it’s morally neutral.

        E.g it is morally neutral to pet a dog, it is amoral to like the colour blue.

        Normally in moral philosophy one would avoid this confusion by classifying morally relevant actions/outcomes as “bad”,“neutral”, or “good”.
