King James Version : 1 Corinthians 13
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Today, Maw and Paw sent Christmas presents to my maternal side of the family. Tonight, one maternal relative wanted greet his Lola, who didn’t want to speak. Paw ended up talking to the guy, who begged for help. Maw got pissed that this relative would dare to ask for a hand out, outright, by calling long distance.
I got pissed at Maw that she would even think that: It’s not nice to not “help” when someone is in need. She didn’t “earn” that wealth by refusing to send the beggar the taxpayer’s money.
“Your (late) Lola Valing may have been poor but she never begged for anything. She didn’t introduce us to her rich relatives in Lumbang.”
