You know what?
I know it isn't necessarily a popular opinion on this board, but my rationale has always been - what does this mean to me, and what to them?
I've been soundly spanked for my attitude toward money before. But the truth is I know I am bad with it, I am trying to get better. But if even a small amount of money, time, a few words or a gesture that will help someone else in a worse place than I am - I will give it willingly.
After all, I know how much small (and sometimes very large) gestures have kept me going when it felt that nothing would ever be right again. When you are offered something with an open heart it makes you wonder if as there is hell on earth sometimes, there might be heaven too.
