    This was her first contact with charity activities, which made Adishil very confused.  Although I don¡¯t know what will happen to other charity events, for the Silver Rose Family¡¯s charity event, it is definitely a protracted battle and physical work.  Because Cheryl was busy from the beginning to the end, Adishiel was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to rest. She kept taking cookies or candies from the hands of the maid on the side and distributed them to everyone, and she didn't know who brought them.  After I came out and wanted to shake hands, there was one more thing I had to do.  Edahil is very confident in her physical strength, so she was very surprised that she was not tired and fell down after a whole morning.  She felt that she might have been infected by the cheerful and joyful smiles on everyone's faces, and unconsciously, she forgot about her fatigue.  However, when Cheryl clapped her hands and asked Iofeta to ring the bell to announce the end of the charity meeting, Adheil lay back and fell onto the folding chair, so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands.  Can't get up.  "Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" Sheryl smiled and waved to the staff of the charity association, and then looked at Princess Long, "Thank you for your hard work, Adishiel." In contrast, Sheryl was initially in the police station  Next to the door of the house, accompanied by more than a dozen guards and two maids, they were distributing meat pies alone. Today, the number of volunteers in the Yi Zhenhui team has become unimaginably large.  , there are more than a hundred maids helping to distribute supplies.  Although with the development of these years, the nature of the charity association has changed slightly to some extent, Shirley still has not given up this "hobby". Perhaps the most essential reason is that she is a housewife.  People, every time she witnessed the changes in the charity association and the smiles on the faces of the citizens, it was the time when she could feel the meaning of her life the most.  "Madam" However, despite being tired, Adishiel couldn't help but look at Sheryl with some doubts: "In my opinion, the people you donate to seem to be people who don't need to donate.  Can this kind of donation activity really be called 'giving'?" Hearing Adehill's words, Sherry couldn't help but smile slightly. She was surprised again and again by Adehill's intelligence, and she was also a little bit surprised.  With emotion, in her opinion, Adishiel is indeed the most suitable candidate for duchess in the Ian family.  "Adehill, as you said, the real charity meeting has just begun." Sheryl looked at Adehill and smiled slightly.  "It's just the beginning?" Adehill tasted Cheryl's words. After realizing what she said, she couldn't help but shudder. She looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing, and her voice became a little sharp and sharp, "What happened just now was unbearable."  Is it a real charity meeting? " "Adehill, don't you know very well?" Sheryl tidied up her somewhat messy hair, and then looked at the crowd hesitatingly from the corner with a gentle look.  The real beggars who came out of nowhere.  "Although those children just now were very enthusiastic, these are the people who really need help." Sheryl stuffed three times the amount of material into those children with the same smile as before, even more enthusiastic.  In the hands of poor people.  Although there have been great differences between White Rose City and Sherry's Charity Club in the past nine years, Sherry's sincerity of caring for the poor has never changed.  Seeing the smile on Sheryl's face, Adishiel unconsciously wandered away, then silently stood up again, stood next to the Duchess of Silver Rose, quietly picked up the cookies on the table, and distributed them  stand up.  ?Compared with the busy morning, during the period after noon, there were not many people gathered in front of the alms station, but all of them were ragged, disabled, or sick, and they were real needy people in need of help.  However, unlike the excitement in the morning, Sheryl and Adishiel were just handing out the cakes silently, while the people who came forward to receive the cakes had faces of pain or numbness.  Many people bent down to thank her, but more people silently and subconsciously bowed their heads and nodded - they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads and look at Adheer's incomparably bright face.  In such a silent movement, Sherry suddenly asked: "Adehill, you are wondering why there are still such poor people in the city of White Rose?"  Subconsciously, he looked at Sherry's side face, and then slowly shook his head: "There has never been a king who can make all his people well-fed and well-fed - never."  Li'er quietly put the cookie in her hand into the hand of the beggar girl in front of her, and then gently squeezed the girl's trembling palm, but the words in her mouth did not stop: "Then what do you think of our current behavior?"?What?  If we clearly know that it is impossible to make everyone happy and prosperous, then why should we donate to others in this way?  Is it just hypocrisy called compassion?  "Adehill's fingers were stiff and she didn't know how to answer. However, Cheryl's words did not stop. The lady's eyes penetrated the leisurely sunshine and wandered to the other side of memory and time. "I still remember that time.  Out of curiosity, I followed my family for the first time when they distributed supplies to the victims affected by the drought.  " "Looking at those ragged people filled my heart, it was an emotion called empathy.  Because I realize that I am an individual called human beings, and because I realize that others are a group called human beings, I, as a human being, cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering of others called human beings - this is compassion.  " "However, compassion is one-sided. It can only meet people's temporary needs. Just like our family back then, when facing the flood victims in the city, even if we devoted everything we had, we could only help less than one percent of them.  People have room and board for three months.  And in places beyond our reach, there are millions of people waiting for help.  But just distributing food to less than a hundred people for a week can make us as human beings feel satisfied with our compassion, and then gradually become bored with this kind of benefitless contribution" "So compassion  , is meaningless and useless.  " Listening to Sheryl's words, Adishiel stopped completely: "It's not useless This kind of mood" She looked at Sheryl and argued softly: "Sympathy, isn't it?  Isn¡¯t it part of kindness and righteousness?  Because ministers have benevolence and kindness, they are willing to fight for peace for the people of the world. And it is not because of benevolence and righteousness that emperors can diligently govern their affairs and bring prosperity to the world?  " "Such a thing I don't know" Sherry smiled softly, "I am not a nobleman. Before I became the wife of a duke, I was just the daughter of a small businessman.  " "A long time ago, the meat pies distributed to everyone were made by myself with the maid in the Duke's Palace and I bought flour and beef from outside, because I felt that doing so would not increase too much.  It reduces the burden on the family and allows everyone to eat delicious and safe food.  "Sheryl spoke softly, with a nostalgic smile on her face, as if the strong smell of meatloaf was wafting away again: "But Yiwen told me that that is wrong" "For the poor,  Instead of making them well fed, let them be fed. How does brown bread compare to white bread?  For the vast majority of citizens, they would rather eat black bread mixed with sawdust and wheat husks than buy white flour cakes that are several times more expensive" "For the truly poor, what they want is  It's not about eating well, but eating enough is enough.  Rather than eating meatloaf and milk once every other year and then collapsing from diarrhea due to gastrointestinal upset and lactose intolerance, they would rather eat a nice hunk of brown bread every day.  ¡± ¡°Compassion looks great, but it doesn¡¯t matter until it becomes true empathy.  "Adehill's lips opened slightly, looking at Cheryl's dress exuding a faint luster in the sun. The lady smoothed her hair on the temples with her dirt-stained fingers without any disdain: "  Sympathy is just a 'willfulness' to calm the uneasy mood in one's heart, and only empathy restrained by reason can truly put oneself side by side with others, consider it from the perspective of others, and truly be suitable for others.  The 'righteous deeds' of others.  " "So I accepted Yiwen's proposal and replaced the meat pie and milk with biscuits, radishes, sweet potatoes, and free medical examinations.  "Having said this, Sheryl couldn't help but smile softly, "But even so, I still can't turn my unnecessary sympathy into empathy - not because I don't realize,  Or maybe I don't want to, but as a woman, I really don't have the ability and vision like Yiwen So even if it's just meaningless sympathy, please allow me to feel sorry for those who are still in trouble today.  People's urgent needs are solved.  " "However, Adhesire, you are different" Sheryl turned her head and looked at Adhesire with gentle eyes, "Adhesire, you are different from me. You are not like my predecessor, the Empire.  Like the former Princess Vicki, you are a true, well-educated son and daughter of the imperial family. You have the ability to assist Yiwen's child and the foresight to assist Yiwen's child. But the only thing I am not sure about is that you  Do you have the intention to assist the child Yiwen After all, that child did such a cruel act to you and your motherland for the sake of justice and empathy in his heart" Adheer looked at it blankly.  Cheryl, listen to her words, and when you hear "you and your country," my chestShe was almost torn apart violently, and she covered her chest with a pale face. She did not expect that in the entire Duke's Palace, the first person to reopen the bloody wound in her heart was actually the person in front of her.  Mrs. Silver Rose, who is gentle and seemingly ignorant of political affairs.  She was a little confused and at a loss. She lowered her head suddenly and responded randomly to the poor people in front of her. She was at a loss. She originally thought that she was ready to go with the flow, but until Sheryl was  When asked what she was really thinking, she suddenly realized that the answer was not as simple and easy to answer as she had imagined.  However, a sudden accident rescued her from the embarrassment.  The green-haired girl in front of her, whose whole body was covered in a worn-out cloak, seemed to have been tripped by the person behind her. Her already thin and weak body was unstable, but she rushed towards Adishiel.  .  Adheer subconsciously stretched out her hand to catch her.  "Hug! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" It seemed that the girl herself did not expect such a thing to happen. Because she bumped into the distinguished lady (Adheier), her voice sounded very uneasy, "Yes! I'm sorry!"  After bowing sharply to Adishil, she reached out to grab the biscuits on the table and ran away in panic.  Adhil looked at the girl's back and subconsciously opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't cry out.  "Are you okay?" Shirley's worried voice sounded from beside her.  Aidhill shook his head gently.  Cold drops of sweat trickled down her slender back. Adishiel pretended to be nonchalant and secretly hid the note in her sleeve.
