You’ve heard the saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

Very true. It’s admirable to give to your friends, family, or group. But that’s not being truly benevolent. That comes when you willingly help a stranger as comfortably as one you cherish. Otherwise, you are consciously or unconsciously serving your best interest. True goodness is indiscriminate, and giving anonymously can bring the greatest spiritual reward.

I prefer to think a friend in need is a friend in deed.
