I have a dear friend.

In our younger years we used to ramble.

Meeting a degenerate, begger, crack-head, begging for money.... he would sometimes pause....assess the situation....contemplate ...and then pull-out a 20, 50, or 100 from his wallet.

I asked him..."Why the hesitation?"

He replied, "I need to assess the situation, and location, and earning-potential pathos of this person. As a good steward of the resources allocated to me....I must determine the minimal amount it will take to allow this person to OD (overdose) and thereby rid society of another leach upon its circulatory system....100 today....may be compounded into tens-of-thousands...perhaps millions in the overall "big-picture-of-society."

I took his philosophy to heart and practice it...to this day.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Some in society only need the smallest of nudges - to make the RIGHT decision.
