First what does it mean to be an intellectual? When I think of intellectual I think of intelligent, a very productive person and someone who is doing something with their life. What is a beggar? A beggar is someone who is poor and asks people to give them money which is begging. I would define an intellectual beggar as someone who is a very good thinker who use’s their intelligences to beg productively. Such as having a job but begging in order to receive extra cash that the government doesn’t see. Someone who doesn’t need to do beg, but understands the gain if they do beg. The two don’t really go together normally because when you think of an intellectual, you think of a person who is very smart and most the time has a very good job and a great life. When you think of a beggar you picture a person who is homeless and is dirty and standing on the side of the street trying to get money from anyone and everyone who is willing to help. The two words together is a very odd thing but there are people who beg on their free time to get some extra money without the work. Actually people that do beg just to beg is wrong because they have jobs and they are taking away the only thing that some people have that they can try and live off. With all the jobs open to people who don’t need to beg you would think that they wouldn’t waste their free time to stand on the side of the street or in a mall or anything and beg. So I feel sorry for the people who do need it as a living and are losing what they have to greedy people with no lives.
