Completely agree with you.

My grandfather used to have this thing where if someone was begging for change, he'd ask them what they needed it for. If they said "food", he would take that person out to lunch. If they said "clothes", he'd take them shopping. Everyone in the family had seen him do this, but you never heard a thing about it until you saw it happen. He never said a word before or after on the subject. Spoke louder than any words he could have said.

One day I was at my grandparents house and saw a seemingly homeless lady taking a bag full of vegetables from their garden. I went inside to point this out to my grandfather, and he responds with "Why don't you go bring her another bag, that one looks full." Again, not another word was spoken on any part of it. If he was ever directly asked about these things, the answer would always be something completely irrelevant.

Lesson I learned without being told? "Do good and shut your whore mouth."
