If you're like me, you struggle with how to INTERACT with others who seem so hard-hearted (edited)

9. If you're talking about our fellow Liberals,

then there is one subject I just do not understand: "Charity is bad."

I've seen people try to understand this concept, too, asking why it's so bad to be charitable to those in need now versus trying to "change the system". The latter could very well take decades in some cases. Yet those in need just have to suffer while the system gets changed.

Like those that have argued for charity, I have a hard time understanding how anyone could reject charity that takes place now, in favor of something that will take much longer and far more effort (and money) in the long run. It seems to be yet another black&white mindset. There is no gray area or the possibility of doing both!
