Ubuntu. It's a bit like the Tao in definition, so the article will define it better than any one definition.

Maybe a small fish, something useful as bait.

Or use the guts and head for bait...

'My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in what is yours.'

In other words, your state adds or detracts from my own. So giving a man a fish gives a small improvement in his welfare (he goes from being a starving man to a fed man for a while) but teaching him to fish creates a man who's state is even better - he can feed himself.

Furthermore, it does preclude laziness. A man who refuses to learn to fish doesn not 'improve' in the long term and the drain on fish harms others so the obligation to blindly give him your fish just isn't there.
