334

The benefactor.  The benefactor satisfies a need of his nature when he does good. The stronger this need is, the less he enters into the feelings of that other person who serves to still his need, he becomes rough and, on occasion, offensive. (This has been asserted of Jewish benefaction and charity, which, as is well known, is somewhat more effusive than that of other nations.)
