Do we have to monetize every simple act of kindness? I don’t think so.
Just because we have some expertise in a particular field, it doesn’t mean we have to treat it as a business opportunity.
I just treat it as an opportunity to do a good deed from time to time.
In our tradition even a smile can be a charity. So, to me, this is exactly the same: helping one who asks for help is charity also.
No matter how much someone insists on rewarding me with some kind of payment, I will likewise insist that there can never be a fee for small kindnesses.
