While we experience joy and laughter, there are those that weep and in live in squalor. We must not overlook their plight, but extend our sympathy and material assistance, by way of alleviating their problem.
The essential ingredient
Too much laughter without thinking of the other person’s tears,
Much bravado with no feeling for the other person ’s fears;
Greed and selfishness excluding needs the other person has,
Serve to fray the oral fabric our social order shares.
As the dough that welcomes kneading and must have the yeast to rise,
That it could be firmer, fuller, well regarded as a prize!
So is charity to fortune — wealth and comfort, good and well!
When it rises firm and proper, it would in the end excel.
