Charitable schemes are not the same as, and no guarantee of, charity. We must deal with the actual and individual, not the theoretical and general. Blake famously wrote:
He who would do good
to another must do
it in Minute
Particulars:
General Good is the plea
of the scoundrel,
hypocrite & flatterer,
For Art & Science
cannot exist but in
minutely organised
Particulars
And not in generalising
Demonstrations of
the Rational Power.
The Infinite alone
resides in Definite &
Determinate Identity.

Man I was fooled.
Me too, for a long time. Nearly all of us were.
The Great Awakening is kicking Evil's ass.
I hope so.
