Organized charity is doing good for good-for-nothing people. Charity is helping hand stretched out to save some from the inferno of their present life. The two statements address an identical topic. That is, they address charity, which might be defined as the act of giving something of value to people in need, without the expectation of something in return. Furthermore, the two statements address the receiver, the person to whom the charity is directed.
These two statements both equally, but briefly, explains what the meaning of charity means to them. These descriptions, “doing good” and “hand stretched out to save”, both illustrate the beneficence of charity, both recognition of helping the need. Charity allows you to support a cause that is significant to you, such as breast cancer awareness. It typically helps others relate, which also brings in more people to help others in need.
Contrary to the similarities, the two statements are in opposition to the beneficiary of this society. In the first statement, calling the receivers “good for nothing people” portrays bums and worthless human beings ruins the smooth-flowing surface of today’s society. The second statement sees the receivers as involved in being in an “inferno”, which basically measures a person’s worth by his wealth.
