[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 391772, member: 15675"] I wrote in an other thread that I was reading Atlas Shrugged. From that book I got that if you want to give that is OK, you`ll feel even better if it is deserved by the other person. Where the book is really against is to give in when others demand without earning it. Now psychologically (read up on Emotional Intelligence) giving does give you a feeling of accomplishment and is good for you. So to go on the examples here: - if you believe that fire-fighters are helpful (difficult to think otherwise) it is good to support them, the way you see fit! - the little girl obviously has done nothing wrong and if people want to help her, great. Best would be also to educate where things come from, how work leads to economic result and is essential to be able to have something. - if you have something you do not use and you want to give it, OK to do this, it will make you feel better My example, we got a lot of free candy in a store for St Nicolas, some we do not eat since it is not to our taste. So I gave it to my colleagues. [/QUOTE]
