I think if he is willing to be generous in other times and places as well, it can be a good learning experience.

I know this is also how Jesus lives in the Gospels, and has his disciples do so at times as well.

Of course he paid his way by healing the sick and raising the dead!

And telling really good stories.

in contrast, Jesus also could turn water into wine and he has the most rich parents in a human history (can manifest anhthing) so was he taking advance of people like the writer?
