What the heck am I writing about? I don't really know. I lifted a few words from TV that is in the background and strung them into sentences. I'd continue the process, but I don't think that is fair.
What would YOU do if you saw a woman with a child on the street, and she asked for money so that she could get some food to feed herself and her child? They are hungry--right now. This really happened to a friend of mine a long time ago. Let's say she gave the woman $20. Then she continued and did her errands. When she returned, the woman was still there and had the same story. My girlfriend told her she was going to "whip her ***" IF she didn't stop requesting monies at that location at that time.
A friend, another friend, interpreted the above scenario by saying "Your giving has nothing to do with the recipient and everything to do with YOU, at that moment. When giving it is a matter of your desire to give, your personal need for what you give, and nothing much to do with whether or not the person needs the money or what they will do with the money." It has everything to do with YOU.
A third person traditionally would take that person on the streets to a neighboring restaurant and get them some food. This person would give the asking person FOOD.
Questions: How would you have reacted many years ago? What would you do today? Baffled!
