it is through charitable work that humanity collectively tends to its wounds. -Well put. This is why I think it is intrinsically human to want to give. It's innate.
For me, the most fulfilling form of charity is that which requires my time and energy. -That is extremely fulfilling, I agree. That said, so many people are very busy and don't have the time to put in the sweat. They still have the innate desire to give, but not the time. What if there were a way to not augment behavior or take increased $ out of the givers pockets? It would be a no-brainer right? And the giver would receive the benefit of easing this innate intrinsically human desire to give. Question: Would you be more likely to give to a specific person in need or an organization?
