Charity begins at Home.
It is very easy to show the whole world that you are doing good deeds. Many people do this just to impress others. But when it comes to treating well the people who are near them, they are sadly lacking. They treat their children, family members, servants and people who are closely connected with them very badly.
If you really want to be good to others, it has to spread to all walks of life, and should begin with your home. As we treat others who are close to us, so should we treat those who are not so close to us. Treating others well should be a habit with us. It should not be an attitude that we display only to gain name or fame. It should be the same when treating the smallest and the closest as well as treating the greatest and the farthest.
