If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish then he will feed himself for a lifetime. I wrote a post on this for the Instagram page a little while ago now and as I had postedit I felt that it was such a good message that I would expand on it here on the website. As I was thinking about what I was going to say and starting to write my initial piece I realised that the point is multifaceted when looked at from a Christian stand point, so I will be doing 3 posts on this, with the first one being feeding.

More people do good than bad. Is this a fact we know, a lie we tell ourselves or an aspiration of humanity? Since a well known tv presenter sadly committed suicide this month, I have been thinking about her situation and the wider situation of humanity. We will never know exactly what was going on in the presenters mind and why she chose to take that fateful act, there a number of things surrounding her life and most of them tended to appear in the media whether true or not. It gets you thinking of what the media portray, whether it be broadcast on television, radio, newspapers, magazines or online, even social media… there is so much media now and they have such a large voice reaching out into the world.
