Commonplace post 3
"True charity is when we give up ourselves instead of our material possessions" (Winstons Churchill). During class, the theme of charity has been part about both of the pieces we read, TSSWP and The Gift. This quote though, does not so much apply to TSSWP, but more to The Gift, where the central charachter gives a nondirected kidney donation. This really is taking this quote literally. But anyway, I'm not really sure about all this charity stuff. I mean I should be more charitable and all, but I'm just not a charitable guy. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Either way, this "true charity" must be very hard to give, because the truth is always harder than lies.

There are many different types of charity work. In other words you might be giving "true charity" and not knowing it just because you are giving yourself to a cause like a team, or a school group isn't that true charity?
