It Is More Necessary to Know How."我們常常在思考人行善或作惡的緣由，卻往往百思不得其解，儘管其中有幾個顯而易見的理由，例如罪惡感、自責、害怕杜會責難、宗教導引，甚或是對於最終審判的恐懼，但為什麼有些人就算天塌了也難有什麼慈善作為，有些人看到遊民接近時卻會主動掏出錢來？是什麼樣的施予滿足了那些施予者的需求？那樣施予的需求又是從何而來的？其間有何法則呢？將近一千年以前，偉大的哲學家及醫師麥摩尼地斯（Maimonides），亦即希伯來人所知的藍邦（Rambam），藉由思考「公義」這個問題，而從中領悟出「慈悲之梯」（The Ladder of Giving，又名 The Ladder of Charity）。【麥摩尼地斯的八級階梯】（The Ladder of Giving / Charity）麥摩尼地斯的八級階梯是由頂端最高階段的施予開始寫起，一路寫下來，從理想到現實，各階段主題為「勉強」、「比例」、「懇求」、「羞愧」、「界限」、「腐敗」、「匿名」、「責任」；最低階是屬於吝嗇的施予者，頂點則屬於能幫助窮人自給自足的施予者。◆ 第一階 勉強：吝嗇地施予（Reluctance: To give begrudgingly）◆ 第二階 比例：不是很適當地施予給窮人，但卻樂意這麼做（Proportion: To give less to the poor than is proper, but to do so cheerfully）◆ 第三階 懇求：窮人請求後才給他們錢（Solicitation: To hand money to the poor after being asked）◆ 第四階 羞愧：在窮人請求前就給他們錢，但是冒著讓接受者覺得羞愧的風險（Shame: To hand money to the poor before being asked, but risk making the recipient feel shame）◆ 第五階 界限：施予給你並不認識的人，但讓他們知道你的名字（Boundaries: To give to someone you don't know, but allow you
