Hi! g> Yes, I know many people who have a giving mentality. Quite a few of those are g> jews. And yes there are those with a give-me mentality, even to the point they g> are taking from the needy. Unfortunately, I know some of those also. The best g> kind of people, to my mind, are the ones who give to those who are worse off g> than themselves, and accept help from those who are better off for they help g> maintain the balance that a worthwhile society needs. The worst may be those g> whow are always offering help, but never giving it.
g> Why would we call your stupid? Because human kindness runs in your family? Now, g> mind you, I might call you silly for even thinking that. I appreciate your words. I only wish that those who sit you-know-where took the volvo-less and home-less folk more into their account. Which they don't. I am speaking of Israel though, not of US of A, for obvious reasons. I am living in Israel for 12 years and I am observing steady growth of amount of people who cannot maintain their living without charity. This is heartwarming for those who give to charity but in actuality this is disaster. Boris
