Charity is the act of extending love beyond yourself. It’s not pity or moral display, but the willingness to give your time, attention, or resources to someone who needs them. Charity begins when you recognize yourself in others, understanding that another person’s struggles, hopes, and joys are not separate from your own. It’s not measured by the size of the gift, but by the sincerity of the intention. Here, gratitude reminds us that we are all, at different moments, in need, and that what we give to others often becomes a gift to ourselves.
