Charity is such a human trait that belongs to the greatest manifestations of humanity. It is not only a desire to share the money of those who have a lot of it with those who need it. This is such a specific state of the human soul, which is close to self-sacrifice. However, in my opinion, charity is still the highest manifestation of humanity. First, charity is a real thing - material or financial assistance, organizational support, and ultimately moral support to complete strangers.
Charity defines the effective attitude of people to each other, which is aimed at helping some people to others who need this help. This understanding of the essence of charity is the explanation of the fact that this property of human nature is the highest manifestation of all that is human in this nature.
An example of a person capable of self-sacrifice is Mother Teresa, who has been written and talked about a lot, but her self-sacrificing life is difficult to understand. She was able to present to the whole world a clear example of altruistic service to people who need support. Mother Teresa became the founder of the Order of Mercy and at the beginning made attempts to independently help all the suffering. She supported lepers, tried to save the dying, saved mentally ill people.
It is not easy to sacrifice your interests and problems, sympathize with someone, support, love and rush to help. This is a manifestation of humanity, which, unfortunately, not everyone is capable of in our time. This is probably why charity has always been respected and considered the highest human virtue.
