Charity sometimes is needed by those that are down and out, but when help is found it often comes with conditions.

At least a thank you is necessary and proper of course but does the giver have the right to expect a thank you? Is expecting a thank you mean you are somehow better than the receiver? Does expecting the receiver to accept a message of morality or advice a fair exchange when help is offered or does it subordinate the receiver to being judged in need of the advice? Expecting more than a thank you for help offered was commented on by George Orwell who said about this: “It is curious how people take it for granted that they have a right to preach at you and pray over you as soon as your income falls below a certain level.”

Being rich does not mean a person is better the those that are not rich. Be thankful if you have an opportunity to help someone else.
