As an aside, if this is your genuine response to a man in his hour of need... if this is who you choose to be... maybe it's better that nobody else has replied.
I am by no means religious, but the point of "There but for the grace of God go you or I" is far from lost on me.
I have a phrase of my own. "Politics has no place in an emergency." That includes personal politics, i.e. grudges. I would like to think that we are all better, here, than to let a man starve and die over an old debt or argument. Luke is prone to a bit of a temper; I think we all should long ago have learned to forgive a few words in the wrong place from him. He means well, even if he is not always the best-spoken amongst us.
Alain, if you have the means, even if you are uncomfortable giving in your own name, I would ask you to consider giving in mine. I will be up-front that I cannot hope to repay you, but I am a strong believer in Karma, and that you will be rewarded in other ways if you would offer what you can to Luke. If you must insist on refusing, and it is out of past misdeeds and trespasses rather than a lack of means, I hope you feel some weight in your heart over the matter -- as well you should. We can all be better than the voice you espouse, and we should all strive to be, most especially so at this time of year.
