Yes and like all other Mayisms - sorry; cliches and truisms - it's actually silly. Like you cannot have your cake and eat it - why not? What else do you do with it? Charity should begin at home; continue to family and friends; move on to strangers and never end. Why must it be limited?
Only so much of the cake to go around. We keep giving to third world countries and they still not happy and are limbo. Perhaps we should give more money to blokes who are victims of domestic violence ? |

No I'd never say "imagine it's you" and indeed it is not your problem. I consider it MY problem as a Member of the Human Race (although after Brexit UK citizens are hoping to be excluded from that species by opting out of the Human Rights Act). And, as such, I consider the problems of other humans to be my problem. Not enough to offer space in my home or to pay for them directly; possibly enough to give to worthy causes if I feel they do a good job; certainly enough to ask my Government to stop wasting my tax monies on pointless, stupid, wicked witch hunts and Inquiries and to spend it instead on enlarging the NHS so the truly needy can get help, build more schools, tighten up benefits for the truly needy and not the scroungers. Instead of spending millions arresting and trying to charge old men and women with doing things years ago that may never have happened; use the cash to save the lives of people drowning in the sea. Protect the homeless begging on the street. Stop knife crime and acid crime. Spend my tax monies (millions over the years) instead of wasting it on saving lives, helping the needy, mending the sick. But I'd never tell anyone else they should feel the same if they don't. What is right for me may not be right for you.
Agree charity begins at home.
"Charity begins at home" is a bit too much like "I'm alright Jack" for me. |
