The reason why versatile beggars become beggars is based on the following reasons.
1. Their "versatile talents" are just a superficial knowledge and cannot be used on a regular stage.
I prefer to call these beggars performing on the streets "street artists" because their performances may seem good to ordinary people, but if they were given a professional stage, they would definitely be Not qualified. For example, those beggars singing on the street, although they still sound the same, many of the lyrics are out of tune and the details are not accurately grasped.
Most of them have become monks on the way. They may just learn a song or know how to play a tune, and they just want to make money as soon as possible. They are too eager for quick success, talent is just a tool for them to make a living, and they lack understanding of art.
2. Talent is just packaging, making money is their primary purpose.
These beggars who perform on the streets will also add some other things while performing their talents. For example, they would put a small card in front of them, writing on it how poor they were and how miserable their life experience was, or they would bring their companions, one lying on the ground pretending to be seriously ill, and the other standing beside them. Show talent.
Their behavior is too suspicious for show. It is obvious that they are using their miserable experiences to gain people's sympathy and get others to give them money. Their purpose is to make more money. This kind of unmodified behavior of begging for money really makes people feel too fake. I will never give money to such a beggar.
3. The job of a beggar is very easy.
The beggars who perform arts completely regard begging as a profession, and their job is to solicit sympathy while performing arts. Such a job is easy, they can get to and from get off work on time, and their daily income is good, so they are naturally willing to be beggars.
