"Charity work should not be needed today, people should look after themselves"

Nowadays, fortunately or maybe not, there are many NGOs and people who need them because they can not have a decent life. But my question is today should we let people take care of themselves and the charity did not exist?

Firstly, I don't think today NGOs can disappear, because asking someone who has economic problems to take care of himself is impossible. But in the future, when things, hopefully, have changed for the better, I think the number of NGOs may be reduced, but they will not disappear, at least not in a long time.

The second thing is that charity helps us to realize that we shouldn't be so selfish and that we should learn to take care of each other and not only of ourselves, and that if it is necessary to go where people need us, places not very distant but that we ignore.

Finally, I think that we need charity and that people should learn to take care of others so that the world is better and more fair for all.
