Whether charity is necessary today, whether it makes sense, why we should share our money, things, feelings - these questions cause numerous disputes and contradictions. It is easier to refer to the state, which should help the needy and solve their financial problems. But the state can't help everyone. This is why there are people who don't argue about why we need charity, but move on to real action. Why do we need charity and should we do it? The whole essence of the concept is perfectly disclosed by the roots of the words: "good" and "do". Charity is rendering help to those who are in need. Voluntariness and unselfishness are the key points.
In simple words: do good and don't ask anything for it and don't expect anything.
The defining criteria of charity:
Silence - good deeds are not talked about or shouted about from all sides, but are done quietly, without bragging or telling everyone about it. Sincerity - good deeds are done from the heart, without any mercenary purpose or expectation that good will return in kind.
