On Charity

“Charity is the bone shared with the dog when you are just as hungry as the dog.”
~Jack London

I love this quote. Over the years I have used it as a reminder to myself when I don’t want to give or share my meager resources, because most of the time I have been pressed for money myself. Truly though, when I have been helped by others in my own grueling times of need, it was often by people who didn’t have much. It is not easy to have a charitable heart when you are living lean yourself. This is true.
