Everyone misses my point. I’m not trying to be decent or generous, I’m just do what’s I feel is right. Calling it this or calling it that, putting a label on it, metering and measuring it, that’s what people do when they pledge “X” amount of dollars to their church or synagogue, that’s what people do when they go down their list of charities every year just before tax time.

There are people on the right and left who just DO. It’s second nature, it just happens, it’s apolitical, it’s non-partisan, it’s not even pro-human, it’s just “what you do.”

It’s tzedakah, it’s like breathing, with no assurance or care if that will be your last breath or not, you do without concern for a return in value.

That’s real.
