The addict killed himself.

Question #2 Which one of the two men showed compassion? |
The second man, obviously. He made no judgements about the addict but simply that the he was in need and the man was in a position to help him. What the addict chose to do with that assistance was his decision entirely, and that he managed to die that evening, even if from drugs purchased by the man's generous assistance, was simply chance. The man was, after all, an addict, so it's not like he hadn't taken drugs before.
The first man, on the other hand, presumed to judge the addict and deny him the choice to help himself by buying food, helping his poor mother, buy a beer for a friend or whatever the hell the addict might choose to do with a meager handout.
