公益,是人们发乎于情的恻隐之心,本不该以多少设置好坏的标准,更不该有过多的社会评价。日前,英国九旬慈善老人奥利芙·库克面对慈善团体纷至沓来的捐款请求,不堪重负而自杀,在英国引发震动。多年来,库克每月通过银行向多达27家慈善团体捐款。2013年底,由于身体状况变差,而且陷入财务困境,她停止捐款。然而,要求捐助的信件和电话却依然有增无减。其后,她在采访中表示,一个月中最多的时候能收到260封请求捐款的信件。库克的孙子凯文表示:“她愿意捐出一切,但是他们对她纠缠不休,把她当成摇钱树。”
Public welfare is the hidden heart of people’s feelings. We should not set the standard of good and bad, but we should not have too much social evaluation. Recently, Olive Cook, a ninety-year-old charity elite in the United Kingdom, faced overwhelming donation requests from charitable organizations and overwhelmed and committed suicide, triggering a shock in the United Kingdom. Over the years, Cook has donated money to as many as 27 charities through the bank each month. By the end of 2013, she stopped making donations due to poor health conditions and financial distress. However, the number of letters and calls for donations is still on the rise. Later, she said in an interview that up to 260 letters of request for donations could be received in a month. Kevin’s grandson of Cook said: “She was willing to donate everything, but they were entangled with her and used her as a cash cow.” "
