The Charities and the Curse of Idleness
The Charities and the Curse of Idleness is a book written by Orison Swett Marden, a renowned motivational speaker and author. The book explores the concept of charity and its impact on society, particularly the issue of idleness and its negative effects on individuals and communities.Marden argues that while charity is a noble and necessary act, it can also perpetuate a culture of idleness and dependency. He suggests that instead of simply giving handouts, charities should focus on providing opportunities for people to become self-sufficient and productive members of society.The book also delves into the psychological and emotional effects of idleness, such as boredom, depression, and a lack of purpose. Marden emphasizes the importance of finding meaningful work and pursuing one's passions in order to lead a fulfilling life.Throughout the book, Marden draws on real-life examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points, and provides practical advice for both individuals and charities on how to combat idleness and promote self-sufficiency.Overall, The Charities and the Curse of Idleness is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to rethink their approach to charity and the role it plays in society.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Architects of Fate or Steps to Success and Power, by Orison Swett Marden.
