Part 953 : Charity

I don’t believe in Charity for humans. Except to the real invalids, who are very few. Except as a temporary measure, to give the recipient time to adjust or when they are sick and unable to work, or to people who just suffered great trauma, and those who need to strengthen their mind to combat feelings of inferiority.

Because Charity creates laziness, in most people.

Because by Charity, we create parasites of the society. Those who live out of others’ hard work, while not contributing anything themselves. Sometimes we create exploiters, those who create unpleasantness in order to get their benefits. Thieves, blackmailers, those who collect protection money, fall in this category.

Because Charity is un-natural. In nature, a bird gets its food free. But still it has to work hard to find the right prey. An animal gets its food free in the form of grass and plants. But it has to travel long distances, and in the process, it serves its own race, often other life forms. A bee gets free honey in the flowers, but it has to travel long distances, playing similar roles. Helping its own race, and helping other flowers and plants. So effectively, everyone pays the price, within their ability.

Because people do not see value in things they get free, or easily without effort.

Because by giving things free to workers, you are encouraging them not to go to work making them, their work environments, and the society to suffer in the process.

Because idle minds you create by removing the necessity for work, get a lot of free time and energy to create more problems for others and themselves.

In future, I will use my money and abilities to create opportunities for people. And to train them to make use of those opportunities. And a little charity for those who really need it.
