Saturday SnigletThe United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, "Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?" The lawyer thought for a minute and said, "First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?" Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Uh . . . no, I didn't know that." "Second," said the lawyer, "did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?" The stricken United Way rep began to stammer an apology, but was cut off again. "Third, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another who has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?" The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea." And the lawyer finished, "So... if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?" |

sundayThat would be fully if it wasn't true! If you are ever involved in a charity collection you will do better in a lower socio-economic area than a wealthy one. People with money don't give it away, and usually have very little consideration for people less off than themselves, usually accompanied by the notion that they should get out and work for it themselves.There is a great lack of both compassion and understanding in today's world.
