It is the percentage of your wealth, the reason for your giving and how you acquired the wealth that determines virtuous giving? 🤔

I doubt the "cheap build" sank the Titanic, considering who was on that ship, and considering what was at stake, AND, considering their ( the said passengers) alleged opposition to it. When viewed with "2020" vision, and with a brain that can still think, what I'm saying is very likely. I'd personally bank on it, no pun intended, or was it?

You may be right. My clam about the cheap build comes from the Titanic museum in Belfast, Ireland. They claim that the White Star line that built the ship demanded there be less rivets to cut costs thereby weakening the ship’s hull. So I’m just going off of what their claim was. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

@@PhilosophicalTechne I've seen that. Thanks for the breakdown of this book. I have to actually read it one day. I will, and soon. These videos will help. Aristotle seems to my unread brain, to have been the zenith of human thought.
