John Chrysostom's quote is a real eye-opener. He's saying if you give just to show off, you're not really being kind. Instead, you're kinda insulting the person you're trying to help. Imagine giving a sandwich to someone on the street, but making sure everyone sees you do it. That's not charity. That's more about feeding your ego than feeding someone who's hungry. Think about social media. Ever seen those posts where people show off their good deeds? It can feel staged, right? Like it's more about the likes than the help. Here's a quick tip: next time you want to help, do it quietly. Help out because you genuinely care, not because you want applause. Kindness doesn't need an audience.
