I donât think that not giving beggars money corrodes your character, though I do think giving beggars money improves it. This can easily be extended from âgiving beggars moneyâ to âperforming any small, not highly effective good deedâ. Personally, it was getting into a habit of doing regular good deeds, however small or âineffectiveâ that moved me from âI intellectually agree with EA, but...maybe laterâ to âI am actually going to give 10% of my money awayâ. I still actively look for opportunities to do small good deeds for that reasonâinvesting in oneâs own character pays immense dividends over time, whether EA-flavored or not, and is thus a good thing to do for its own sake.
