Quote by Eva Peron

Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.

Summary

This quote highlights the difference between almsgiving and aid in addressing poverty. While almsgiving may provide temporary relief, it does not address the root causes of poverty and can perpetuate dependency. Aid, on the other hand, aims to eliminate poverty by providing assistance, opportunities, and resources that empower individuals to improve their circumstances and become self-sufficient. It emphasizes the importance of treating individuals with dignity and respect, rather than creating a sense of inferiority or reliance on charity. Aid aims to bridge social inequalities and bring people from different economic backgrounds onto an equal footing.

The average American is just like the child in the family. You give him some responsibility and he is going to amount to something. He is going to do something. If, on the other hand, you make him completely dependent and pamper him and cater to him too much, you are going to make him soft, spoiled and eventually a very weak individual.
