Charity is something that humans have, which animals don’t. Charity is not a voluntary activity. Rather, it is an involuntary one. It should be an automatic social behavior.
Human beings over the years have devised ways to continue the species. Charity and philanthropic activities are one of them. Subconsciously, human-kind wants to imbibe this social behavior into everyone’s mindset. It is a natural survival instinct.
Charity is a state of mind. People give to be given back. A lot of planes of awareness are involved. There is a plane of survival. Atop is the plane of compassion, and on top is the plane of spirituality. People do charity for reasons specific to each plane of awareness.
To give and let live is the new-age rhetoric. Things have become difficult. Times are changing. The food chain does not exist anymore, as forests are being depleted. The hunting has become the hunted.
People are in the made race for survival. Natural resources are getting depleted. There is a lot of pressure in the world to even stay alive. The prepared live, the under-prepared struggle.
Charity had its roots from the past. Even the past has given mankind a difficult time. It was difficult to survive given the amount of war and bloodshed. Charity existed during that time too. The world had everything for a peaceful existence. Yet it warred. People were more interested in grabbing-land, and conquests. They were less interested in accepting what they have. Which is the trademark of the modern day society.
