I wasn't aware you were carrying it for him.

Old war injury. He requires assistance.

 

Giving is one of the most moral things a person can do, if not the most moral.

I just read this. Sorry for the late reply.

No. Being productive is the most moral thing a person can do. For his own benefit.

How else would the alms come about?

al·tru·ism
ˈaltro͞oˌizəm/
noun

1. the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.

 

...disinterested and selfless...

BTW,

dis·in·ter·est·ed
disˈintrəstəd,disˈin(t)əˌrestəd/
adjective

1. 1.
   not influenced by considerations of personal advantage.

Sounds good to me. As I stated earlier, doing without something so that another might benefit is one of the most moral acts, if not the most moral.

 

...not influenced by considerations of personal advantage.

sorry, i have not readied very long post

 

Anyone can give money to a person in need. I think it is preferable to assist a person so he will be able to be self sufficient and not require charity from others.
