a very balanced approach to the topic. Zeal without knowledge is a dangerous thing and giving to fulfill a supposed need is fraught with problems, especially if you don't know the individuals and their lives. This type of impulsive giving even when it comes from a good place ultimately weakens the steemit community. I personally feel guilted into giving to causes or people I don't know simply because there's a touching story. I can think of cults sending members on here to ask for donations, and that's not far-fetched. It has happened before and could happen on here as well.
