Ryan Bray is a good-hearted person who constantly attempts to assist those in need. On his way home from work one Sunday, he came upon a panhandler on the street pleading for change. In his neighborhood, this kind of sight was not unusual. Bray approached the man with an offer because he felt driven to improve his life more.
Bray suggested offering the man a $15 hourly compensation to work for his family business rather than just handing him extra change. To his amazement, though, the beggar laughed at the suggestion and rejected it flatly. He didn’t see the point in working when he could beg for more money.
The man reacted angrily as Bray contemplated raising the wage. It seems that Bray’s idea shook his notion of an easy life where wealth came to him and questioned his complacency. Disappointed by the beggar’s reply, Bray made the decision to act independently.
As soon as he got home, Bray made a sign of his own. Then he returned to the same area of the street and openly criticized the panhandler for his apathy and lack of drive. Despite his overall kindness, Bray felt obliged to explain to the beggar the ramifications of his actions.
Speaking to reporters in Florida, the homeless man—who wished to remain anonymous—said that Bray had misled him about having offered him a job. All he sought was assistance to get off the streets. Every money he makes from begging, in his opinion, is a chance to gradually better his situation.
Still, Bray holds fast to his version of events. Holding his placard urging drivers not to give money to beggars, he is adamant that these people will be forced to leave the neighborhood if the community stops providing financial support for them.
Bray views the beggar’s insult as a chance to influence people’s viewpoints and persuade them to quit aggravating the situation. The episode in which the beggar reached inside his car and demanded money further strengthened Bray’s resolve.
