Summary

This quote suggests that charity is often limited to one's immediate household or family, rather than extending to those outside of it. It implies that people are more inclined to prioritize providing assistance and support to their own family members or close ones. This can be seen as a critique of individuals who neglect or overlook the needs of others beyond their immediate circle, highlighting a lack of broader empathy or concern for those in need.
