The Chairman of a large charity noted that a wealthy CEO of a major care company had never given him a donation. He called on the CEO in an attempt to persuade him to mend his ways.
"Our reasearch shows that you made a profit of over $600,000 last year, and yet you have not given a dime to any community charities! What do you want to say for yourself?"
The CEO replied, "Did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income? Do you know about my brother, the disabled veteran, who is build and in a wheelchair? Do you know about my sister, whose husband died in a traffic accident, leaving her penniless with 3 children?"
Sheepishily, the charity solicitor admitted that he had no knowledge of any of this.
"Well, since I don't give any money to them," he continued, "Then why should I give any to you?"
