"Connections and Why They Matter"
Most of what happens in our life will spark a connection. Life connects with what has been found in books. Books connect with what happens in life. Use the connections to help you see more clearly. A love of reading and writing is what motivated the creation of this blog. Thank you for coming to the blog.
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.
