Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. …Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness & being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.
