Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost.

WIST Quotations

In reading "Walden," I can't quite get my mind around his view on charity. The best I can surmise is that he urges readers to help others at times without thinking about those actions as benefiting the recipients.

I'm too far separated by time and language to fully grasp his point. #Thoreau
