More From William James

Aid leads to more aid and more aid and more aid and less independence of the people that are receiving aid.
People Independence Receiving
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.
Country Korea Generations
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.

Now see what a christian is, drawn by the hand of christ. he is a man on whose clear and open brow god has set the stamp of truth; one whose very eye beams bright with honor; in whose very look and bearing you may see freedom, manliness, veracity; a brave man--a noble man--frank, generous, true, with, it may be, many faults; whose freedom may take the form of impetuosity or rashness, but the form of meanness never.
Christian Eye Men
Friends now fast sworn, whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart, whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love, unseparable, shall within this hour, on a dissension of a doit, break out to bitterest enmity; so fellest foes, whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep to take the one the other, by some chance, some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends and interjoin their issues.

I can get where some scientists would say comedians are crazy. what you have to understand: a lot of comedians are dealing with a dark passion. a lot of these are guys coming from a tumultuous life, including myself. some people need outlets, a way to express yourself.
