Last sunday, I saw a TV programme - a debate on lavish spending against stingy spending of money.
A lady from the stingy spending side complained that her husband who is in lavish spending side, spends large amount of money on helping his friends. Once his friend sought for help saying he is struggling for living. Her husband gave Rs 10,000.
Later it is found that the man who got help from her husband bought TV set for the money borrowed.
Her husband on the other side argued that still he is ready to help his friends even though he found some of them were cheating. It is their fate to use it properly or not.
He said the reason for helping is he was struggling for living three years back. And no-one was there to help him. Even his friends. He struggled a lot and got the drive to achieve in life. And now he is the CEO of a company founded by him. So now he is in a position to help other who struggles for living.
And the debate went on. But I had the thought - his stand on helping others showed his good hearted nature. But unknowingly he is spoiling a part of the society. Helping his friends by providing money is spoiling them. He injects the thought that they could get money/survive with the help of others. This would never spark the fire in them to get the drive he got that brought him to this stature.
He can help his friends by showing the direction to come-up.
