Consider the Taking of pains/burdens from another as Good, but one must also consider the worth of self-sacrifice.

It is unwise of a man to purchase every thing on sight, for he must consider the worth of the goods to himself and to those the goods must serve a purpose.

So it is with Good, that an equation of supply and demand must be considered, so that a man's doing of Good is applied where it is most needed, and where his is in most abundant of supplies.

It is pointless for a poor man to give money to a rich man, for the rich man neither needs it, nor will he cherish it.

Yet, the poor man will often have more of friendship and common wisdom, which the rich man will often crave.

For in that equation, the poor man and the rich man both have something that the other need, and something that they have abundance of.

In sharing, do they both not become better than when they were each alone?

This is not self-sacrifice, but rather follows the same laws of supply and demand as any commerce and trade.

But this is trade that does not place value in terms of money, and must come from mutual trust.

The rich man cannot BUY friendship with his money, but he can EARN it with his generosity and efforts.

When a man gives to those in need, he is naturally given the admiration and respect by others, somethings that money cannot buy.

And these give all men and women their self-worth, which is also not calculated in gold.
