If it bothers you that much, just give the money with nothing expected in return.

I want to, but then I can't justify limiting myself. I can say, "this is a good price for a commission", but I can't say "this is a good arbitrary amount of money to give someone." I always end up thinking "but that's not all I have, shouldn't I just give them more? Why is my life more important than anyone else's?" I have no idea why I do that, because ordinarily I'm the most selfish person I know. I guess I'm stuck on some intangible idea of money rather than a real knowledge of it.

It's not about "a good arbitrary number." It's the price of a commission. But exempting the need for the actual thing, means relieving your friend from the burden of creating something.

Why do you have to justify anything? You're not obligated to give this person all the money you have, and nobody in their right minds would expect it. You absolutely CAN say "this is a good arbitrary amount to give someone" because there are no rules about how much money you HAVE to give a friend. Give whatever you want.

Because-- and I'm trying to be kind here, OP-- right now, all of this internal handwringing over whether or not $25 is a worthwhile amount to buy food (people have told you it is) means that you're not giving your friend ANY money, am I right? So you're worrying about whether or not $25 is theoretically enough and not wanting to just hand over the cash for Reasons and in reality, your friend is getting zero dollars. ZERO. To a person who's hard up for cash, a QUARTER is better than no money, OP.

Do you want to help your friend buy food? Well, your worrying and running around in circles is not helping your friend buy food. Just hand over $25 and tell your friend you hope things get better soon. The internet gives you permission.
