I think Jesus said it best-
Jesus taught that charity and compassion should not be forced, it should be voluntary
.
He also said that our charity and compassion should not be staged and acts of kindness should be real as he recognizes our true intentions..
17-27 17As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, ?Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life??
18Jesus said to him, ?Why do you call me good? No one is good except one?God. 19You know the commandments: ?Do not murder,? ?Do not commit adultery,? ?Do not steal,? ?Do not give false testimony,? ?Do not defraud,? ?Honor your father and mother.??
20He said to him, ?Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.?
21Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, ?One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.?
22But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions. 23Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, ?How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!?
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, ?Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through a needle?s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.?
26They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, ?Then who can be saved??
27Jesus, looking at them, said, ?With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.?
