| Giving money isn't the best thing to do, as money is the means to anything. Why not directly give the things they need to get on their own feet?
Giving money to a corrupt administration in an African country is a waste, the money will not buy the things the giver intended. Instead, see to it yourself -- go there, give the things they need, bypass the corrupt element.
If it's a homeless person, give him an apple or a slice of pizza instead of change, as it might go to booze rather than food.
Don't be greedy and egoistic, but don't be naive either. |
