Sitting 26: How we should live
Beloved brother, We are here once again in our quest to enlighten those who wish to understand a little better the sort of life we should be leading as we walk the physical plane.
It is all right for some to say we should do this and we should do that but very often this is not the whole story. For every action there will be a re-action and quite frankly it depends on the re-actions of the various people we come into contact with which defines what we should do in a certain situation. Take for instance the tramp who needs a meal. He requires sustenance so that he may continue to live and we should give, as we can afford, to help him on his way. On the other hand there is the professional beggar who has no intention of trying to obtain work and lives solely on what he can scrounge from others. Giving to this sort of man is actually doing him a disservice as it encourages him to depend on others for his livelihood, without contributing anything himself.
During your life you will meet many of both types and there will be times when it will be difficult to tell which is which. So we would say to you to err on the cautious side. Do not leave yourself short in your charity to others We would send our love to you and yours
