What is meant by charity? Charity is not fundamental. It is really helping on the misery of the world, not eradicating it.

Every so-called charity is an encouragement of the very evil it claims to operate against.

When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.
