Every person who calls him/herself a human being should be charitable. Charity is a duty and a pleasure but even as a matter of policy if you possess no higher incentive you will find that the liberal man will command patronage while the sordid, uncharitable miser will be avoided. The act of charity largely involves giving voluntarily to those in need; it also involves kindness, benevolence and love. One cannot in any way fake charity for it is a virtue that talks for itself. It needs not any consent from other sources not even from the possessing being. Many uncharitable men will live all their days in life waiting for stable times and those days that they will be as rich as to need wasting some possessions. Their believe that they would then ultimately change their personalities to switch to the charity view, the view of generosity but until then they only act sadistically posing pathetic faces to the poor.
“There is that scattered and yet increased, and there is that withheld more than meet, but it tends to poverty.” King Solomon said. In fact the only true charity is that which is from the heart and in the biblical view, man has to give in order to protect what he has and most of all increase his property. It then follows that the more you give, the more you are generous, the more charitable you are; then the more progressive you equally become. Many who are charitable are at peace; honor and respect are some values that always ride with them. Many who are helped by such people bless them each day. A woman who helped a house maid to stand alone by herself by providing her with education will forever hold gratitude and honor through her entire

life from the lady. If then one helped such many people, they would own their lives to their founders. It is then after receiving votes of thanks, praise, honor and blessings from as many people, that the charitable would know their value in the society.
The best kind of charity is to help those who are willing to help themselves. Promiscuous alms-giving without inquiring in to the worthiness of the applicant is bad in every sense. To search out and quietly assist those who are struggling for themselves; it is the kind that scattered and yet increased. It is a sad reality that some people don’t deserve charity as they less value it and would only neglect its content rather than make charity their benefactor. Some would win Good Samaritan only to pay them back with misery and regrets. You will then need to access those in need to see if they can utilize opportunities positively.
Again, don’t fall in to some ideas that some people practice; giving a prayer instead of a potato and a benediction instead of bread to the hungry. You will need to study the needy, narrate what they need most and then do so in the standing hierarchy as a hungry child will need food first before going to school.
