Charity is a good thing. It's something everyone commends. However there are reasons why people are becoming cynical.

1. Some of the charity organizations are fake, or inefficient. There are many instances where donors send their hard earned money to charity organizations that turn out to the fake. Amongst the ones that aren't fake, some of them spend so much on operational cost and staff that they spend very little on the people who really need the funds.

2. Fake victims. It's not uncommon to go to crowd funding sites and see people beg for funds using all manners of excuses. Some of them could be real but how are donors supposed to tell? Especially donors that have sent money for take victims.

3. The world is becoming lazy. I remember I once passed by a beggar who had no obvious ailment yet he was begging for money. I'm a student who struggles to make ends meet. It won't be proper to share my funds with someone who refuses to work
