I would be happy too. R10 buys a lot of glue.

I hear you Zee, I know you can’t give all the time and you have to draw the line somewhere. All I’m asking for is a little bit, one R10 note a day if you can or even a week. It’s small but it makes a difference. It doesnt even haveto be R10… even R2, buy someone lunch, smile and talk to someone who wouldn’t expect you to… you get my point :)

Yeah, i hear you but how much charity is enough? If you make 5-10 stops on an average saturday @R10 ea? ALSO: What about the disabled beggars at the traffic lights? What about donations to victims of xenophobia? What about charity beginning at home and taking care of your staff? What about the streetkids? What about Starfish? What about Snowball?

I know I sound like some kind of heartless a-hole but I have donor fatigue.

You’re so right, Muhammad. I have arguments about this with my friend, who believes it’s extortion and you should give as little as possible.

The first beneficiary of this sort of generosity is the person who is giving! It lessens one’s attachment to money and other material things, and it gives one a feeling of happiness to have made a significant (if small) difference to someone else’s happiness.

Great idea!
That’s what we, at Tea Lovers Club are all about. We are a group of women that came together with the intention of doing a lot of “little things” for as many people as we can, all in the name of spreading a little love and joy.

[...] had an interesting encounter with a car guard this weekend. This experience made me realise how much I take for granted and how the little things [...]

Thank you!

So so true. If every person did one thing, a little thing, a day, just for someone else.

We’d have world peas, and world peace. X
