Love or Selfishness
Before start to see what I would write on the blog here gave me this question by the headLove or Selfishness?
In line with the previous text, when we do something to those in need, we are glad to help, happy that it may hurt the dignity of others, for how can we feel happy to help anyone who is in a position inferior to ours?
When you really want to help, not help simply do not get me wrong, because what I mean is that in helping one, many others remain in the same situation and will want to help too, to help "kill hunger" but also creates dependence.
The addiction is that society is stagnating, but let's see, why are so many people on the street asking, why are there so many people "working to carers of cars (parking attendants)," we often yearn for and most often is fear itself , fear of scratching our cars and so diminish our patrimony.
I'm no hypocrite, neither a striker nor socialist, I am just someone who does not want to see society and those excluded from it at the mercy of the slaves and alms, alms given this right to get rid of whoever bothers you, or as already I said earlier, to take pleasure in "helping" the disadvantaged and the latter also would like to stay away from the "facility" that is begging to live.
Use your altruism in order to satisfy his ego, his pleasure, building something that could make those in need, ensuring for himself, his own life satisfaction, love and peace.
Make it your pleasure to help yourself is reversed, not pity you, for sure, when you look into the mirror of humility, you will see that you will not have its mirror image, simply by feeling sorry for itself and make nice .
Who gives to the poor lends to God, should be the contrary, to give God and lend to the poor, because only then will give due weight to what they receive. This is FACT. The overwhelming majority of only the proper value, it won through sacrifice.
"An alms, for the man who is sane, or kills him with shame or vitiates the citizen."

inside some want to help but are afraid if someone they know might see them and class them just the same, people have a way of doing that. anyways i like the fact that u care so much for others it shows you have a bigger heart than your body.
Giving of money is a bandaid approach, that can even foster dependency.
It is far more significant to teach a person how to fish,
then merely to donate fish.
then merely to donate fish.
I agree.
Thanks Jim.
Behind giving there is typically some sort of self-interest being served. To feel generous or helpful or respected perhaps.
To give of yourself is healthy. To give your time to help another is healthy. To help another person reach a point where they no longer need your help is better.
Being selfless is nearly impossible but if you can bring a solution to someone looking for it... something that helps them regain their independence I think you've done a good thing.
I remember an example of irrigation pumps being purchased through a micro-loan organization. The pumps replaced water being carried by hand and freed people from many hours of labor each day... hours that could then be devoted to improving their lives rather than just being able to survive.
