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.

Each of us has a responsibility to think about the well-being of his family and to do everything in our power so that our children do not need anything. Helping poor families is a very good initiative, which I support, but I only help the poor with things because I do not live richly and I need to think about my family. I heard the theory that if we divide the world's wealth equally among each person, then in a few years the poor will be poor again because they do not know how to manage money.
It's true that we are responsible for our families and do anything for our families and I'm sure every parent will try their best for their children. And if we look at this, we as social beings are expected to be able to help the family so that they can fulfill their needs from what they do and what we give to them. But the poor will not always be poor, especially for their children, because surely their descendants will want to change their fate and usually work hard to achieve their dreams.
