Quote of the day.....

True generosity consists precisely 

in fighting to destroy 

the causes which nourish false charity. 

False charity constrains 

the fearful and subdued, 

the “rejects of life” to extend 

their trembling hands. 

True generosity lies in striving 

so that these hands — 

whether of individuals or entire peoples — 

need be extended less and less in supplication, 

so that more and more 

they become human hands 

which work and, working, 

transform the world.

--Paulo Freire.
Pedagogy of the oppressed.
