The context of the following conversation is Walking along the street, Robin passed a group of homeless people begging so Robin gave them money.:
Robin says Today was another usual day in my neighbourhood..
The friend responds Seeing people shopping, going for a walk and cars driving along the busy roads?.
Robin responds And also, as usual a bunch of homeless people panhandling..
The friend responds Did you end up giving them any money?.
Robin responds I did. They always come up with some sob story and I fall for it every time. This is what I get for being compassionate and sympathetic..
The friend responds It also helps to put things in perspective. Realize how good of a life you're living compared to others and be thankful for it..
