He will use the money to keep surviving.

And how did you come to this conclusion about this completely hypothetical homeless man?

If he didn't he would probably be already dead.
I don't think this conclusion is less likely than yours. It also has the advantage to not give up to pesimism.

That makes absolutely no sense.

It also has the advantage to not give up to pesimism.

I see, so we're just setting aside reality to be "optimistic". That explains it.

If he wasn't using his begged money to survive, he wouldn't have been a beggar for a long time. Is that easier to understand?

You think your personal opinion is reality but others' aren't? Maybe you should read your comment again to see how you didn't either bring anything else than your personal view. Don't expect replies to do better than you did.

Between two personal opinions, I'd rather take the optimistic ones, because it has more chances to be helpful.
