The momentary mercy of the rich upon the poor is bitter, and the sympathy of the strong toward the weak is naught but a reminder of superiority. But the weak poor do not care to know what transpires in the heart of the rich, and hungry never think of the method of which the bread he is craving is kneaded and baked. The one who receives is not mindful, but the one who gives bears the burden of cautioning himself that it is with a view to brotherly love, and toward friendly aid, and not to self-esteem.
