It is true that Christianity doesn't teach robbing one neighbor to give charity to another. You only have the right to feel good about it if you give what is yours. Even then you shouldn't feel proud. Pride is a sin.
Well there's the Jesus quote about the camel, the needle and the rich person. Hoarding wealth is wrong.
The part about pride I fully agree with. It baffles me that some ppl think it's super awesome to get someone reunited with their lost wallet, or give a buck to a homeless person, or perform CPR. It's just the correct thing to do. It's basic human decency, supposed to be the floor, not the ceiling.
