Reply #30: Of course she "asked people close to her if she has abused alcohol... [View All]

prescription drugs..."

:wtf: The woman was hitchhiking - not at a social event. Just when do you think the OP met people who knew this woman personally? C'mon... really?

It's called "Charity".

I know nothing of you personally, however as you are posting on a progressive site, a democratic discussion board, I'll assume you are here in good faith, and that you know and practice the basic precepts of Democratic values. (See Civil RIghts act of 1967; Johnson's War on Poverty SOU Address 1964 and subsequent Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; Food Stamp Act of 1964; FDR's New Deal and the poor).

And then there was Christ... not that you may or may not be Xtian, of course, however Christ, Mohammad, Buddha and other prophets of time taught the same precepts of Charity.

And so WWJD in this instance... would he look for and question her worth as you do?

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

The OP rocks, and she should be commended for her kindness. Your thought processes however.... not so much.
