1. Few, alas, few even today care to give the bread of life to the very divinities they worship when these appear before them in the guise of the poor and the penniless, the distressed and the dying, the lost and the lonesome. Pitiless is the soul of man that seeks but cannot give.
2. This very day of the divine benediction of the Lord, showered indiscriminately on all and sundry, I resolve to follow suit and, casting all tendencies to seek into the depths of oceanic oblivion, vow to give freely of my bounty to any who in need be of help, to the distressed and the destitute, the desolate and the dying, service, solace, sympathy, succour and a smile that will lift them up unto hope and cheer for a brighter morn to follow.
