Yes everyone is just hooked on materialistic possessions and always want better than the neighbor. Show off scene. When last any of you did some sort of charitable deed. And I'm not talking about contribution to church/mosque/temple.

boi, it have 2 aspects of giving eh, so yuh need to be specific about which one you really mean.


There's true charity, when a person gives or does because someone/something is truly in need in & they do it for the sole purpose of helping the one in need, with no intention or desire for a reward or recognition. These types will often give to a specific cause or person, repeatedly, until they either no longer can or aren't needed anymore.

Then there's the other kind, they easy to ID. They usually in the media in their best cheap suit & polka-dot tie, showing all with eyes to see that they themselves handing over stuff & skinnin dey teeth like if they by d dentist, with others like them in tow behind them. Many are attention whores, and just as many do it to fool more people into giving them items or donations, thinking all of their entire contribution will truly be used to benefit the needy, and some of it will, but some of it doesn't.


So which one you really mean Sundar?

Charity without expecting a reward, Selfless act of kindness.

Psalm 112:5-9

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends; He will maintain his cause in judgment. For he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is upheld, he will not fear, Until he looks with satisfaction on his adversaries. He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor.

[RedVEVO]

So you feel
Have plenty ah dem only well off on a balance sheet, leverage all they have and half of what they feel they could have to live a lifestyle, & in real life their existence is a house of cards. One sneeze and game done.

Maybe that is YOU

Now, go look for that stick you lost, I'm believe it might take you a long time to find it. Be sure to take a flashlight, it might be kinda dark in there

Nah !

The “right hand” is the higher spiritual element in us that leads to acts of true charity, the “left” is the baser, self-seeking nature.
