Charity as a Form of Justice
Everyone has something they can share with others
some vital thing they can do, some act of kindness, some
small but crucial gift that costs them – nothing.
The wealthy from the expansive security of their abundance
can find space in their hearts to become pro-active, and share
something from their wealth to ease the misery of the poor.
And even the street people who are the poorest of the poor
can find the space in their hearts to share their scraps of food
and their tattered blankets with those who have none.
