You can be poor and have a bad heart and rich and have a good heart. Only a serious student of Russian history would make the tricky distinctions you have made. It has nothing to do with personal wealth.

If you feel like putting a dollar in the hand of every beggar you meet that is your business. Just remember all you are teaching the beggar to do is beg for more. Pretty soon he thinks he can make a moral demand on you or the next guy for another dollar.

What you have taught your friend is evil and inhumanely selfish. You are denying your friend the only thing that will ultimately empower, dignify and free him from poverty.

The path of the professional victim is a thorny one.
