Charity begins at home

Hi everyone, it's nice to have you here again 😊
We'll be talking about the recent topic
"Charity begins at home"
The above title is not a new statement to most of us, we may be hearing it from childhood and still hearing about it, you know why?
Because it is important to spread love to yourself and people around you 😊

Charity begins at home is a proverb in expression that implies prioritizing the needs of ourselves and people around us.
It emphasizes the importance of taking care or supporting our loved ones and our surroundings.

Charity is an act of showing support to human in different ways by rendering help, showing care, empathy and compassion to people around us, one does not learn how to help outside their homes without showing the act of charity at home that's why it's important for your charity to be shown at home before extending it to outside circles. 'If you don't learn to support yourself, you will not learn to support others '

Charity is the manifestation of love in action, so for you to extend charity, love must be involved, because helping your loved ones or people around is another way of sharing love which is very important to mankind

Charity begins at home also implies prioritizing our own physical, emotional and mental well-being, we cannot effectively help others when we can't take care of ourselves,
when you find it hard to help yourself in so many ways, rendering help to people will be very difficult for you, show yourself the love you need before showing to others.
Am not encouraging selfishness to oneself, but you don't learn how to give without giving yourself.
Charity begins at home does not end there, by prioritizing our own circle, we learn to create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion that extends far beyond our immediate surroundings

There are different ways one may decide to show Love or charity to people:

  • By spreading love, you need kindness, you need to show empathy, compassion and many more to people around you,

  • Giving your support by providing financial help, emotional and physical support to those in need,
    Your act of showing kindness, empathy and compassion shows your understanding towards people's problems.

  • Sharing resources, spending time and energy to those who need it,
    Demonstrating concern and showing attention towards the well-being of others matters.

  • Assisting people in times of needs, crisis or struggles are ways one can extend love and charity.

Remember, love is the foundation of charity and charity is the expression of love.
Before you show charity you must learn how to love.

Yeah.. I think people misinterpret self love for selfishness and sometimes selfishness for self love😄
The two have slight difference, while self love is taking care of yourself and your basic needs, selfishness is wanting everything for your ownself. I think this is where the principle of balance needs to comes in...
