It can be confusing. Here I sit with my belly full of barbequed baby back ribs, and we're trying to decide whether someone else deserves a meal.
Personally, I'm a softy. I've fed a lot of people, none of them starving, but we won't turn anyone away from a meal.
Money is another issue. I will feed someone before I just hand them money.
I know a guy who is struggling financially. He's in his mid seventies, and he shows up at McDonalds several times a week, right around 10 AM to pick up the unsold breakfast items. He's very humble, polite and discreet about dealing with the management. They give this stuff to him for free. I've got a lot of respect for the folks who are in charge of that McDonalds.
And if you're wondering - this guy held a job all of his life, behind a parts store counter. His wife developed a serious fatal illness and his insurance was inadequate. It took virtually all of his savings to care for her until she died. He was able to hang onto the house that his parents owned, but had to sell most of the farm land. Small acreage farm. And he won't accept a cash handout. Sez he's making it OK. Shares the free food with his old dog.
