What if the desire to help was outwardly clean? Do not hiding in this secret lie: selfish, unconscious desire for the role of Savior?

He told me everything. Away from the crowded heart. The fact that you gave him money. - Hillel looked at me with piercing eyes and strange somehow emphasized every word, but I did not understand what he wanted. Of course it'll spill from the sky a few drops of happiness... and... and... in this case, it will not hurt, but... - he thought for a moment, but sometimes this creates severe suffering for themselves and for others.
