The term should not be confused with the more restricted modern use of the word charity to mean benevolent giving.
It doesn't take much to toss a handful of money at one organization or another, but to really make a commitment to do something out of genuine feeling, that means a lot.
I think I might do more tossing of handfuls because I can't do the unlimited loving-kindness. I'm working on it. Living back here is an exercise in tolerance - from both sides.
