I do understand your point that's why I was saying we are just arguing semantics. years ago adukkune ammayini enduku adukkuntav pani ista chestava ante she agreed. she started working as a maid in our house and evallanna adukkunne vallu vaste pani chesukuni batuku po ani tittedi :-) andaru pani ivvaru (no work to give, no money to give, can't trust some beggar etc etc), desam lo over population, poverty, no jobs even if I want to do one etc etc - anduke I think we can't generalize on who is begging why. Yes, there are lazy bums but not everyone is one. Lot of times circumstances force them into stretching their hand. My imaginary friend went away for an year in search of his brain! | ||

Guttonkay, in that case feed the guy first and if he is capable give him some work so that he can repay you. see the difference of just feeding and other work. he will have self esteem that he earned the right to feed his stomach. he can contribute not only thorough physical labour but many ways. we arw going round and round on this. i hope you understood my point. | ||

hmm, I kinda agree but then again it's all semantics and pov. Let's say I have excess and there is a beggar who is old/sick/physically handicapped/no one would give him a job to do even if he is willing. Should I tell myself I should not give b'coz he is going to expect me to give tomorrow also? I think too often it's easy for us to categorize those who are at a less fortunate position than us. Anduke ivvaddhu ani nenu evvariki cheppanu. evari reasons vallavi. evaru enduku pani cheyatledo do I know? Would I rather that a person is on empty stomach rather for a reason than think he is a lazy bum and so I shouldn't feed him? I will err on the side that he has a genuine reason to be begging.

you can call whatever you want bro, what importance does these semantics hold in actions of these kind. making sure, what the other person does after he receives help is not my cup of tea. i would rather move on and work on something else, rather than worry about the actions of others. if i donate to a temple, or a church or masjid, i wouldnt take the responsibility of making sure the pujari, or God help the devotees to my satisfaction. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

>>As for cutting the source and so someone else will MAY be earn that cut you took - I think that's plain not going to happen. I say reduce my salary by 10% b'coz I am making too much, my company will put it in their coffers, they are not going to go give it to some autodriver's kid in india who can't afford to go to school. >> once you cut back why worry what happens to it?

i guess, we can expect the people who got lucky to recieve kamal's donation, to help the society(not just kamal) back. lending and expecting back from the loaner is a complete different scenariou. usually donations work the other way, where the donor, doesnt expect a payment back to himself, but expects that reciever would do something useful to someone else, it need not be monetary. the world of appearances may or may not be real, or both may and may not be real - or may be indescribable; or may be real and indescribable, or unreal and indescribable; or in the end may be read and unreal and indescribable - its all Syadvada | ||

I think it's semantics when we say "not expecting anything in return". When one says I am not expecting any in return they could mean "I the donor don't want anything back for myself", they don't mean "I am expecting this person who got my donation to burn it on ciggies and sarai". As for cutting the source and so someone else will MAY be earn that cut you took - I think that's plain not going to happen. I say reduce my salary by 10% b'coz I am making too much, my company will put it in their coffers, they are not going to go give it to some autodriver's kid in india who can't afford to go to school. I think life should be flow in such a way that those who are fortunate enough to make whatever they make and those who are smart enough save and those who are lucky enough to not have high expenses should help those who are in need and help them come out of whatever is their circumstances they want to overcome. These people in turn help others. It's a chain, everyone helps others in any way they can. That's the only way humanity can survive. aa matram kooda cheyyalekunta manishiga puttadam enduku?

i dont like to give charitable contributions. i only help if that person can repay me (not imemdiately but definately some time in the future). that is respecting other person not gloating like you are the giver and other person is taker. charity is crap -- i respect your opinion..... but charities like Cancer research and Red Cross type get benefited through these donations.....which is their big source...... individuals ki...clubs iccheedi....i have no opinion.... but research Orgs need chunky donations like these for their work which inturn saves lives...... research ki ivvatam.......chaala useful....intentions emaina....

charity is a character of self egoisim. its a bunch of crap institutionalized so that some filthy rich feels good about themselves. persons who do charity means they did not earn thier money through hardwork. it should be a windfall. why dont they distribute that wealth back to the people working under them. reduce thier shares and distribute to employees of the company etc. i dont like to give charitable contributions. i only help if that person can repay me (not imemdiately but definately some time in the future). that is respecting other person not gloating like you are the giver and other person is taker. charity is crap | ||

http://in.news.yahoo.com/48/20100805/1246/twl-40-us-billiona ires-pledge-to-give-aw.html Forty US billionaires pledged to give away at least half of their wealth to philanthropic purpose in response to a campaign by Microsoft chief Bill Gates and legendary investor Warren Buffet. Among those who pledged their contributions are New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, noted Hollywood director George Lucas and media mogul Ted Turner. The group today joined six other billionaires who had already made previous pledges, which includes Gates and Buffet who launched an initiative asking fellow billionaires to share a sizeable chunk of their wealth during their lifetime or after their death for humanitarian cause. The US has 403 billionaires in the world - the most in the world, and New York tops the list within the country. Buffet, who heads the insurance and investment company Berkshire Hathaway Inc, has pledged 99 per cent of his wealth. "In 2006, I made a commitment to gradually give all of my Berkshire Hathaway stock to philanthropic foundations. I couldn't be happier with that decision," he wrote in a pledge letter. "Now, Bill and Melinda Gates and I are asking hundreds of rich Americans to pledge at least 50 per cent of their wealth to charity." In his pledge, Bloomberg underlined the need for rich people to give away their wealth now and not wait until they were dead. "The reality of great wealth is that you can't spend it and you can't take it with you," he said. "And so I am enthusiastically taking the Giving Pledge, and nearly all of my net worth will be given away in the years ahead or left to my foundation." The campaign does not require billionaires to make donations to The Giving Pledge, but only to give away their wealth in some charitable cause of their own choice. George Lucas, creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies, highlighted the need for reforming the education system in the US, to something more than "an assembly line with producing diplomas as its only goal." "When I was in high school, I felt like I was in a vacuum, biding time. I was curious, but bored. It was not an atmosphere conducive to learning," Lucas wrote, noting that he started 'Edutopia and the George Lucas Educational Foundation' to push educational innovation. "Storytellers are teachers and communicators who speak a universal language. That was Homer's primary role, and both Plato and Aristotle used narratives and dialogues as a means of educating," he said. In his letter, Ted Turner talked about the strong impression his father's philanthropic efforts like - supporting tuition of two African-American students in the late 1950s - had left on him. The media mogul noted that the contributions of more than USD 1.3 billion to various causes over the years was one of his best investments. "Those dollars have improved lives, saved species, fought disease, educated children, inspired change, challenged ideas and opened minds; and at the time of my death, virtually all of my wealth will have gone to charity," he said. Bill Gates, who has a net worth of USD 53 billion, is the second richest man in the world, according to Forbes magazine. He was dethroned from the number one spot, this year by Mexican telecommunications czar Carlos Slim Helu with a net worth of USD 53.5 billion. Bill and Melinda Gates have given more than USD 28 billion to their foundation since it was founded in 1994. "We have committed the vast majority of our assets to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help stop preventable deaths such as these, and to tear down other barriers to health and education that prevent people from making the very most of their lives," Gates wrote.
