It may be just my dislike for charity as means of perpetuation of a civilization divided into haves and have nots. The sort of charity which assumes that I first get my table full, and then see that it may be perceived as me having too much, and then I go look for the poor and unfortunate and basically help them stay poor for some extended time. That's what I see labeled as charity here (with a few exceptions of programs who do help these people get on their feet, get educated and move upwards). Actually, I find the term "charity
industry" quite shameful.
I prefer to do things out of solidarity - the image of bucket brigade fits better, neighbors helping each other as equals.

I somehow don't see how proving (i.e. use of logic) can go together with faith (i.e. believing despite impossibility of proof, or despite of proof of the contrary) can go together. So I don't expect you to prove anything. Once we get into proving, we start employing logic, and then I ask the same question again, the one you refused to answer directly, and we go next circle.
In this particular case, I felt that saying that my writing here is somehow charity, brings the unwelcome image of dropping crumbs from my table to the hungry crawling beneath. I really never felt like that. I've been helped, and I've helped, mostly not to the same people. I don't see them as lower or higher in any way - we're colleagues on the same job. We may have different experiences, but hey - I was in their skin few years before, and I remember.
