"As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another"

- John Stuart Mill

About this Quote

John Stuart Mill's quote talks to the intricacy of charity. On the one hand, charity can have an immediate result on those directly included, supplying them with much needed resources and assistance. On the other hand, the ultimate consequence of charity may not constantly be advantageous to the general excellent. For instance, charity can create a sense of reliance, where those receiving the charity ended up being reliant on it and are unable to end up being self-sufficient. Furthermore, charity can produce a sense of inequality, where those who are not receiving the charity are left behind. For that reason, charity can be a hard balancing act in between offering immediate relief and developing long-term services. It is essential to consider both the immediate and long-term effects of charity in order to make sure that it is advantageous to both those directly involved and the general great.
