If any person is donating, then many people think that the person is doing all this for popularity or he has some selfish motive behind it, but these are the same people who do not donate even a rupee and find some negative thing in the work done by others. Whatever the excuse, that person is definitely helping some temple in some way, so in such a situation why spread wrong things about anyone.
In such a situation, it also happens many times that the person who should help with a true heart also backs off because he feels that these people will criticize him and that people will consider his help as his own benefit. A few years ago when the Covid-19 virus spread all over the world, there were many people who were helping those people whose sources of income had stopped and they did not even have anything to eat. In such a situation, I was seeing here that those people were going to their homes and distributing ration to the poor and there were many people who had become homeless, so they were arranging transport and accommodation for them. Some people are criticizing the people you have listed who are doing so much by risking their lives and these are the same people who lie at home all day and do not do any work and they themselves criticize the person who they see doing good work.
Doubting If we are doubting something about which we do not have complete information, then such a person will be called a sinner. I believe here that if a person cannot do good work, then he should not doubt the good work of anyone because even if that person is looking for his own benefit, he is still doing good work. Whatever the excuse, if that person is helping a needy person, then what is wrong in it?
It is very strange that we make up our minds beforehand and when things don't turn out as per our wish, we feel so sorry. Like what happened with you about the dinner set, I often see that people buy something and when something turns out to be defective, they leave their homes with a fight in their minds. They keep thinking about how they will reply to him and how they will start an argument. But if the shopkeeper exchanges the goods with utmost honesty, then he must feel very strange at that time that he was thinking so wrong. This thing is awkward in others. However, I believe that if someone has cheated you and is refusing to give you the goods, then someday karma will definitely take its toll on him. We don't need to do anything, the one who has done wrong definitely gets the result of his deeds.
Is the help helping the needy person? In the case of street beggars who are begging as a profession, it's a different debate. Generally, you are right.
I am a believer in karma too.
Strong statement. hmmmm
