Do you believe the stranger?

I often say that the three most common words in the English language are: “It all depends!” I wonder this is also true in Chinese.

The situation you de-scribe is common in America as well as in China and other nations. Poverty is a terrible burden and it is so prevalent. I believe that we must be sympathetic and helpful to all people who are less fortunate than we are. The ability to give is a gift, and I admire your willingness to share this gift with others who are in need.

In this case, you acted with compassion in giving money Tag Heuer Replica to a person in need without asking for anything in return. It is true that this man may be a “con artist”, and there are many such persons in circulation.

Your response was to be generous, and I believe that generosity is a blessing. If you guessed wrong about this particular man, you retained your generosity and he retained his duplicity. Perhaps he will learn a lesson from the kindness you showed him.

I applaud your generosity and your feelings of mercy. There is little danger in doing what you did, and much reward if you were able to help this man. All you could lose is money.

However, there is considerable danger of developing any relationship with a stranger. Per-haps this is what concerned your parents and friends. Unfortunately there are men and women who prowl about looking to entrap young girls and boys. I share this concern and warn you never to go anywhere with a stranger no matter how desperate he (or she) may appear, and no matter what stories he (or she) tells you.

Many young women are being kidnapped either bodily or by false promises. You must never let your generosity extend beyond offering small amounts of money. There is little, in being swindled, but there is great danger in. being led into a relationship which could bring harm or disgrace to you. So, “It all depends” on what you are being asked to do and upon how you judge the person who is asking.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me. Your letter Replica Watches makes me glad to know that there are compassionate young persons like you in this world. Our future depends on you.

With best wishes for happiness and success in your high school and college studies.
