Unfair Judgement of the Good

Should the good be judged for not having given enough? Some will face humiliation or reprimand, not by Christ Himself, but by folks who bluff! There are many ways of giving, it depends on willingness and feeling; the most generous ones will give abundantly, and those who aren't will give little obviously. Then who should be judged harshly? The ones who give out of the kindness of their hearts, or the ones who are forced by society? True givers are never asked...they give with eagerness. In the eyes of the Creator, generosity is another virtue of human mercies... when feeding the hungry with food and their soul with God's comforting words. Well-to-do-folks and millionaries give away lots of money to charities, but only a fraction of that amount is given to the needy who still knock on doors. Nowdays even the good, who give of themselves, will be judged for not doing enough to help the poor in constant distraught, but isn't compassion more significant than any monetary amount? Didn't Jesus praise the meager woman who gave all she had?
