This is inspiring. There is a cynical side to this coin, however. I have been a soft touch for people asking for money or food, only to see them make a beeline for a nearby convenience or liquor store to buy booze. Also, my first experience as a philanthropist was as a country boy of 17 walking the mean streets for the first time. Really having none to spare, I gave all of my cash to a pitiful guy; then watched in horror as a gang of fellow panhandlers gave chase, obviously to attack and rob him of what I had just given. Still a sucker after all these years, a pang of conscience gut punches when I do say no. entertaining angels unawares is the admonition that haunts.
