“Why do we resist giving help to homeless men? In part because we don’t understand how our pressure on men to support families often forces men to take transient jobs that are but a step away from homelessness (the death-of-a-salesman jobs, the migrant worker jobs…) and in part because we respond differently to men who fail”

than women who fail

“But don't rely on men and women to inspire you to do good — because we will probably often fail you with our own imperfections!”

Ysabella Brave (1979) American singer

"Doing Good — for the right reasons!" (13 March 2008)
Context: So let God know what you're doing just by doing it — or feel good about yourself. But don't rely on men and women to inspire you to do good — because we will probably often fail you with our own imperfections! We all should be trying to improve ourselves, regardless of how much better off or worse off we are than the person next to us, because we can all get better.
