Many have caused their own slavery. Take care of them by putting them to work, not giving free rides to the able bodied. Don't add to their troubles by enabling their descent. For the truly needy, don't put conditions on charity unless it helps to keep their spirits up. We all need to be needed.

There's no kindness in continuing to bail out a brother who is busy making more holes in his own hull, but we should always be ready to help when he shows signs of repentance even if he doesn't deserve it.
