Buddhist monks and nuns have to accept everything people put into their begging bowls; is that bad stuff too?

Question by Frelsun: Buddhist monks and nuns have to accept everything people put into their begging bowls; is that bad stuff too?
I’m trying to develop more gratitude in myself, and one model of gratitude is the Buddhist monk with the begging bowl. Their approach is truly “beggars can’t be choosers.”, so they supposedely, they can’t turn down anything a person puts into the begging bowl. But I also believe in moral values, and by nature, moral values involve saying no to something.

So, for example, what if a person put drugs (like crystal meth), violent video games like Grand Theft Auto, Hitler’s book, or Howard Stern’s “Private Parts” book or a buy one get one free ticket to the local brothel, into their begging bowl. Would they be compelled to accept and fully use the stuff? Would they be ungrateful to the universe for rejecting such offerings? T

he bigger question is how is it possible to reject things while still be grateful to what the universe offers you?
