Answer 8

Of course. That is the meaning of charity.

Answer 10

See, this is the problem with statements.

First ; "The beggar owed us the opportunity to be charitable"

followed by ;

"The beggar owed us nothing "

So which is it ? These are conflicting statements. Therefore It is niether deep nor profound, its a set of conflicting statements !

"We owe him" -  Huh, for what ? And what did the beggar owe us again ? Something or nothing ?

How ridiculous ! Of course ! Most of us give to charities and we never ever meet those who were helped by our donation.

And since when is it that, if someone gives you something that you need not be grateful ?

OK, first learn how to write english using a logical structure. That is without glaringly conflicting statements, especially when one immediately follow the other.

Secondly, basic politesse says that one ought to thank those from whom you take without compensating them.

Third - Most charitble donations are effectively anonymous. Most of the time we never see those who benefit from our donations.

Therefore the answer to your question is glaringly obvious. Of course !!!

What was the purpose of this shallow and nearly meaningless tome ? (besides 2 conflicting statements and a question that is a statement of that which is easily obvious ?
