In my monthly piece for this Sunday's Il-Lehen (28.XI.2021), I write about the Lassana Cisse painting, the works of mercy and why we are slowly turning 'generosity' and 'solidarity' into a meaningless catchphrase:
"Aħna poplu li xi kultant niftaħru żżejjed fuq kemm aħna ġenerużi. Sfortunatament, il-ġenerożità ma’ tistax titkejjel biss bil-flus li ngħatu fil-ġbir tal-karità. Inkunu qed nagħmlu karikatura tal-“ħniena” jekk neħlu biss fuq id-donazzjonijiet u l-flus li nagħtu minn l-eċċessi li għandna."
