Charity, Dignity, and the Ethics of Not Using Gifts to Control Others

We give what we carry. If someone’s ‘teaching’ or ‘charity’ ends up robbing others of their dignity, then it reflects the qualities they’re operating from, not the people they harm. If you haven’t cultivated dignity and faith within yourself, you can’t offer others anything from a place of dignity and faith. It is best not to give anything at all and cultivate dignity within oneself.
