The Bible says that if you give a man a fish, he will eat today, but teach a man to fish and he will eat forever. Are there similar passages from other religions?
That's really interesting. Are there any other religions that have similar teachings on self-sufficiency?
Yes, in Islam, there is a saying that goes, "He who gives when he is asked has waited too long." The idea here is that giving handouts is not the solution--rather, one should teach people the skills they need to become self-sufficient. In Sikhism, there is a concept of "sarbat da bhala," which translates to "the welfare of all." This includes helping individuals become self-sufficient so that they no longer need assistance.
