Whats's Wrong With The World

     My friend and I, who have I known for a couple of years, were driving to Austin, TX to visit friends who we have known through church and always kept in contact with them. As we were getting of the freeway to get onto the feeder there was a couple who were asking for money and I was not trying to judge on their appearance but it seemed to me that they needed money even the smallest amounts so it seemed easy for me to reach down my pocket and pull out some leftover change but I couldn't find any but then reached down my back pocket to check if I had some ones I could give them and right when I pulled out a couple ones my friend looked right at me as I was calling the guy who needed the money and said "don't, he doesn't need the money he's just lazy and can easily get a job." I've known my friend for a while and I don't like arguing especially with my friends and something like doing a great deed but I was trying to think what was so wrong doing a good deed and it didn't take long to know what I had done was not bad but what my friend had done was because we were both raised Catholics and we were still Catholics. We both were taught that if someone was in need and was asking for something and you had the opportunity then you should be the first to help and not expect anything in return because it is better to give than to receive.
