Two Kinds of Help


There are two types of givers of tzedaka.  One gives out of pity because he cannot stand to hear and see the affliction of the poor.  The other gives for the sake of heaven.  The difference between them is that the first one will try to be rid of the poor immediately and he doesn’t try to collect from others.  But one who gives for  the sake of heaven will solicit others as well.
How does this change your view of helping others?

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
