More From C. S. Lewis

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Aid leads to more aid and more aid and more aid and less independence of the people that are receiving aid.
People Independence Receiving
Aid makes itself superfluous if it is working well. good aid takes care to provide functioning structures and good training that enables the recipient country to later get by without foreign aid. otherwise, it is bad aid.
Country Training Care
Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
Men Generosity Doe
Countries which receive aid do graduate. within a generation, korea went from being a big recipient to being a big aid donor. china used to get quite a bit of aid; now it's aid-neutral.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
