This is the way I was taught by my grandfather too. He used to say, “You can’t expect people to be free, without the necessities of life taken care of. This is why we share what extra we have. I would rather have a neighbour who is a free man and well fed, than one who is starving and in a cage.”

He didn’t have much, but what he had he shared.

I think farmers were probably the most humble people. They work all day and all year to support their family, neighbours, friends and community. Self less life.

Btw if you’re ever in triage in an ER and they ask what you do, they’re trying to ascertain if you’re a farmer. If a farmer enters an ER it’s a real emergency.
