There’s nothing like a garage sale to stir up emotion. When I was growing up, the emotion was: not another one! My mother, a garage sale enthusiast, rarely passed a sale without stopping by. Years later, in my early twenties, I began to appreciate the sentimentality of items with history. A long way from family and friends and the potential windfall of hand-me-downs, perusing past- prime treasures, once again, became part of a weekly routine. Joining the other wide-eyed hunters felt life embracing. Like the table I discovered today, might be part of my larger tomorrow.

Your beliefs and attitudes form the entire basis for your experienced (subjective) reality. We are mere observers of experience and our observations are totally subjective.
Some philosophers would say that the closest we can come to experiencing true reality is in the state of Samadhi.
Charity ameliorates need; justice seeks to eliminate what causes the need. Charity seeks to comfort, accompany or lessen suffering in the moment. Justice tries to dig out and change circumstances or systems that tend to generate pain or unfairness. Some of us respond more naturally to immediate needs, others decry or try to eradicate the injustice of it. My first response to tragedy is comforting the hurt; it has been harder to develop the muscles for justice work. But regardless of what charitable action I attempt, the alternative of staying stuck in wailing or complaining only leads to depression or bitterness. That swamp of despondence keeps the focus on me, rather than extending my attention to those in need of charity. You might say that charity is practical, good mental health, and makes sense.
