Chinese Proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Proverbs 6:6-11 (New International Version)
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-
11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
According to Youtube channel Thirtymilezone (TMZ):
A self-described "homeless" man hit up the wrong person for cash -- because last night Tito Ortiz handed out brutal honesty instead of $10 bills.
When the guy asked the former UFC champ for some cash, Tito flatly denied him, saying "I worked my ass off for my s**t ... laziness don't get you anywhere in life."

Well we don't know how long that brother has been homeless so....
There are some folks who are homeless b/c they are lazy however, I know people who are homeless do to job loss, medical bills that have caused them to lose everything, divorce, death of mother/father.
I'm not saying that you get a pass to be a victim of your circumstance indefinitely. But everyone is not lazy.
So I can go with the general idea of teaching a man to fish. But there is not a one size fit all.
And for Ortiz, even if the man was lazy, maybe trying to educate the brother instead of degrading him would help. If you made it out then help someone else out and don't capitalize off an opportunity to show out in front of the cameras.
^ I agree 100%!
Some people are homeless because they are mental ill.
I don't know who this Ortiz guy is, but I did not like his attitude. Teach a man to fish instead of degrading him. SMDH
