🤷‍♀️ Is alms an act of kindness or just a social ritual?
On the one hand, it is an opportunity to help a person in a difficult situation.
On the other hand, sometimes you can meet those who are really in need, and those who... well, let's say, take advantage of our kindness.
How do you know who should be helped and who shouldn't?
Here are a few simple tips:
✔️ If possible, it’s better to help specific organizations that work with the homeless and those in need. They know exactly who and how to help.
✔️ If you give on the street, it’s better to offer something edible or a warm thing, if possible.
✔️ The main thing is to help with your heart, and not out of a sense of duty or fear.
😂 What if almsgiving is our way of feeling like a superhero?
Honestly, sometimes I think: “I give alms — it means I saved the world!” 🌍
But that’s also important, right? After all, good always starts with a small step.
Besides, who knows — maybe your smile and coin are that very light in someone’s dark life.
Giving alms is everyone’s personal choice.
The main thing is that it doesn’t turn into an obligation, but is a sincere desire to help.
And remember: sometimes the greatest miracle is just to smile at someone. 😊
