Justice or Charity?

Most times when one says charity it has a negative conotation, people see charity as something that you do just because you know it's good to help people and you know give back to community etc... people complain all the times about having to give to charities.. but is helping people charity? is giving relief to people jut charity? personally i think that it's not charity it's also justice. justice is the process of making things fair and just for everyone. Helping people is not just about giving them a little coin ( by the way thats the least of things you can do so stop complaining about having to give money) but its more than that. it's creating an environment where they would be able to succeed if they are willing to work hard and sacrifice. Poverty is the greatest injustice there's in this world! how can a child spend days without a meal! that's not right. how can a kid die of hunger and disease when some of us are dying of obesity!??? that's not right!! it's not right to just sit there and complain that the world is unfair because you werent able to have the latest louis vuitton or the IPOD touch and whenever you see a video of starving kids all you do is complain about the way African governement/the west/the aid community and everyone else is not doing anything!! but the question is what are we doing? what are we doing when people in our communities suffer while we are enjoying our lives? what are we doing when we see kids/adult women and men suffering just because they never had someone to cater for them someone to just give them a hand and a small push a little word to say "everything is gonna be alright?" what are we doing for that child that has no parents but who has to look out for his brothers and sisters what are we doing to make his life more just??
it's justice not charity! It shouldnt be like that!! however complaining has never changed anything!!! we need to act!! but how when the need is so strong. Do your part, show kindness to your neighbor and those in need around you!! you may not have changed the world but you would surely change their world.
" everybody cannot do everything, but we can all do something"

REFUSE TO DO NOTHING!!
