Why to give money?
"The only
good deal consists in using your own money to acquire safe goods, if you can
find them, then sitting on them and hatching them like an old hen. . . . "
These are the
words pronounced by a character created by the French writer Irène Némirovsky:
his name is Stoifer, an old rich man "so much mean that he could seem mad" who
"walked tiptoe lifelong to make his shoes last longer" [from the novel
"David Golder", published in 1929].
Such literary
hyperbole clearly explains an useless wealth, from which nobody gets advantages,
not even who owns it.
Donating
produces investments in real safe goods, it is a manner to use money very useful
for humans, it causes an enrichment for the community. Giving money to enhance
the culture, to improve the social services for people, to protect the
environment, to restore the monuments, and to hand down the traditions really
means doing something for a better future.
