It is not our responsibility to help the poor but we can do it voluntarily out of love. If it is necessary to help a poor family, then I will sacrifice my one-month gambling habit to help them. I could stand and continue with life even without gambling but it will be hard for me to see a family who is suffering because of poverty. That will not solve their problem but it could ease their suffering.

You can bring them "fish" every day to feed them, or you can give them a "fishing rod" so that they can catch the fish themselves.

As long as you bring them "fish" they will have no desire to have a "fishing rod" so in some cases helping them you deprive them of the opportunity to understand that they are capable of more. That's why I think help is needed, but it shouldn't supplant the need for development and the desire to move forward.
We have to teach them how to survive in real life. And by providing a "fishing rod", they can start to look for ways to have money; in the end, if they work hard, they will have money.

Maybe we don't have the heart to see them in trouble and want to help them. But it would be better if we also give them a second chance they haven't had so they can try to find a job that suits them.
