Charity


Take 2 billion and then give 100 million away.
Philanthropy? or just plain Thievery?

Charity appeals to our gracious nature. It is quite noble to give a portion of our hard earned labour, to those more unfortunate than ourselves.

Obviously, it is impractical to travel to the source of the suffering and give a direct hand. It is more efficient and wiser to concentrate our labour into what we specialise. Surplus credit can then be handed to an trustworthy Agent, to be allotted to those, that they deem most needy.


These Agents are the Charitable Trusts and Charitable Foundations.


The weakness of the system is the medium of the transaction. It is the transposition of your labour into money, that alerts the acquisitiveness of the Authoritarian Elite. It is no accident that when you wish to give your time to a good cause you must first have to open up a bank account.

Once donated the benefactor can happily depart the scene, with a newly purchased virtuous demeanour.


Proximus sum egomet mihi
I am closest to myself

Is this however, the most fitting way to expend your labour?

How can you anticipate and calculate that you will build up the sufficient labour credit that will sustain you, for the end of your days? As your strength withers and your body tires, there will come a forced retirement of your labour. Miscalculate and you, yourself, will end up a charity case.

Should such a fate befall you, then just hope that your indignity is captured under the media spot light.

Surely, it is more sapient to invest any surplus in you and your families education. If you don't, you will never know of that innovation, that could have brought forth general alleviation.

If you still doubt my frank advise, then delve into their annual accounts. Study their financial investments and idle speculations. Inquire into the exorbitant remuneration and the over generous benefits of the administrators.


Then finally, their wasteful dispensation.


The thing to remember,

Always.

The choice is yours.




Just Remember this, when the fat comedians and the multi-millionaire rock stars, tell you from the TV screen, that there's not enough food in the world, and that they want your hard earned labour money.



Obviously, it is not Purely an Industry of guilt, there can be found a majority of good people and good causes. Generally smaller is better, the local hospice or the hospital fund for an expensive allopathic scanner.

By all means, take your unwanted goods to the local Charity Shop, here you can be safe in the knowledge, that these items will directly make the life of someone more ameliorate.
At this point the good use of any further proceeds, is a bonus.

My last visit down our local one, I off loaded so many books on to them, they could have started their own library. Three bin bags full.

Still to see my book 'Detecting the Fakes: A Collector's Guide to Third Reich Militaria' by Robin Lumsden, displayed in their window though. Probably get a few quid for it.
