    Give what you can, take what you need. Sometimes it can be worth it to bring a egotistic justification into it for the benefit of those that don’t think like you do.

    Even the most selfish person in existence should see that something like eradicating poverty in the third world might help them.

    Imagine all the potential Einstein’s, Newton’s and Curie’s that never got the chance to study physics or chemistry or engineering or art or agriculture or anything but instead died of sepsis at the age of 4. We literally all benefit from giving freely.
