charity

I've read this somewhere before, that it's easier to help nameless faceless people than those you are much closer to, like friends and kin.

And I agree, it's true. You help one-time, no commitments, no follow-ups, and you feel happy because you've helped someone and you're wishing it made a difference in their lives. But the long-term kind of helping your relatives and friends? It's more difficult because you get involved with the main problems and you see how they make use of the help you gave.
