Beggars can't be choosers
When receiving help or charity
Understanding the Rule
Those in desperate need should accept what's offered rather than demanding perfection. Limited options mean accepting available help graciously, not pickily demanding ideal solutions.
What Happens When You Break It
Being picky when desperate loses offered help, offends potential helpers, demonstrates ingratitude, and often results in getting nothing rather than imperfect help.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Accepting imperfect help when desperate gets assistance, demonstrates gratitude, maintains relationships, and recognizes reality of limited options.
