We should never try to become donors; it neither
helps those to whom we give, nor us. When we give, we make others depend on us
and, in exchange, buy some pride for us. When we give to others, we part with,
at least, some of our humility to humiliate others.
While
empowering others is more difficult than just giving away; it connects the one
who empowers others to the traditional laws of nature, and helps the one who is
empowered to receive what he is rightfully entitled to. When we are able to
strengthen someone who desperately needs strength, he, in turn, becomes a
source of strengthening such element of humanity in us that is directly linked
to the divine.
The
one who empowers and the one who is empowered, they both enter into an
honorable relationship. As human beings, we all have limited resources and
abilities; we all need to be empowered, one way or the other, but without
sacrificing our honor.
