He is scared that he may do something crazy if he doesn't give him money. He is buying security quickly rather than crossing the street wasting his time. He wishes he took the cab at that moment.

The beggar is selling empathy. He has nothing to give in return for money. By the same token, the rich man has nothing to gain by giving money... with the exception of maybe feeling better about himself. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the 'potential' hint -- does the rich man think that he may be in a similar situation one day... and that maybe this same beggar will be there to give him money? Maybe he was once like the beggar and somebody gave him some change and he said, "I will never have less than this 35 cents again so long as I live," And he kept to his word and he ensures his fortunate life by giving change to every beggar he sees. Good post and interesting question, Mike.

We feel better afterwards, and it is easy - a twisted way to buy our own happiness. But it does not work for the poor - it is not what the poor need. The poor need our TIME not just money. And that is something we don't want to give - Ourselves. Here’s a great quote I picked up from a comment on YouTube by FreeAgain2:
