The Seven Levels of Giving
Illustration
by Editor James S. Hewett

1. Giving to the poor, but with bad grace

2. Giving with a good grace, but not giving enough

3. Giving enough, but only after being asked

4. Giving without being asked

5. Giving without knowing who will benefit from the gift

6. Giving without the beneficiary of the gift knowing who is helping him

7. Fighting poverty by giving the poor person the means to escape from his condition
