I read a quote at the weekend that a sum of money always seems so little when you spend it, yet so much when it is a donation. Food for thought.

This is an interesting article.

"... suffering caused by deprivation is bad; if it is in one’s power to prevent bad things happening, without sacrificing anything important to oneself, one should do so; charitable giving can help prevent bad things; therefore it is wrong not to give charitably. This argument is both valid and sound. It is logically compelling. ^So the question is: why do people not give, or not give enough?^"
