I state right now for the record, that I will help ANY person in need who comes to me and is willing to sign a sworn statement that they are in need solely because of their own faults and shortcomings and not due to "society or "bad luck" or any other such thing..
And after thinking about it, I probably lean the other way. I'd be much more willing to help someone who I thought had run into hard times because of what I feel is bad luck. There is a big return to helping such people, because they are likely to turn my investment into success (even though I won't get any money back as it is a gift, I still get happiness from seeing them succeed).
Example: Someone who lost their money on a interesting but unsuccessful business venture is someone I might be interested in helping. Someone who lost their money buying iphones for everyone in their extended family is not.
