Because giving money is regarded as an act of charity, it is not thought that there is anything wrong with not giving. The charitable man may be praised, but the man who is not charitable is not condemned. People do not feel in any way ashamed or guilty about spending money on new clothes or a new car instead of giving it to famine relief. (Indeed, the alternative does not occur to them.) This way of looking at the matter cannot be justified.
The passage discusses the societal perception of charity and the lack of condemnation towards those who choose not to give. It highlights the lack of guilt or shame associated with prioritizing personal spending over charitable donations.
