What is best form of 'Service'??

Dear all..THIS IS FOR ALL...
It is said in tamiil that 'Thaanathhil siranthathu anna thaanam!!'...i.e 'The best form of service is providing food' (hope my translation is right!!).
It does not say 'to whom?'. People say 'to hungry people'. So, we consider that providing food to any one is anna thaanam.
In my personal opinion, when food is given to a person who can afford to get food at that moment of time, then that service does not qualify to get that status of 'anna thaanam'...whether that person is hungry or rich!!
Also, when that service will make a person lazy, then again it does not qualify for the 'anna thaanam' status!!
Only when food is given to a person who is damn hungry, that person is not in a condition that he or she can afford food at that moment, in a state of understanding the real 'value of food'...'value of that service'...'value of the hard work that has gone in producing fo those grains and making of that food'...'gratitude for the service'...'value of humanness'...probably in an enlightened state of humanness...and the person is not lazy and that service will not make him or her lazy, only then that offering of food qualifies for 'anna thaanam'.
Else we are only fooling ourselves, wasting our hard earned money, and creating more and more lazy coffins!!
So, i feel we need to understand the meaning of old sayings correctly and live as per that!!
This is my personal opinion only...may be wrong in your perception...you may continue to live with your opinion as long as it gives peace, happiness, contentment, fulfillment and good health...nothing wrong in it!!
Peacefully yours...Rams...Psychologist!!
