Charity

I am utterly confused!

Here in Cape Town, it is a routine sight to see people scavenging for food in the garbage bins. In India if hungry, the deprived head for the shrines and there they get food. Indian people often offer food to the mendicants as a result of fulfillment of their wishes. So, there is abundance of devotees serving food. There it is uncommon to see people rummaging through garbage for food. On the contrary, here it is easy to spot people who sponsor orphans and take them along with their families on outing. This gesture is rare in India.

I am confused because I am not able to decide which is nobler? To feed people and save them from succumbing into the hands of hunger or to sponsor their existence and give them an opportunity to live a decent life and cherish your happiness along with them.
