Giving- Church

So I was at church today, and the homily was about people giving to the poor. The story states that when Jesus was at an event of sorts, where people donated their money to the poor. Many rich men came in, and donated a large summation of money from their surplus of funds to the poor. Then, a widow came in and donated her last two coins to the poor. Jesus spoke out and said that the woman had give more money than any of the other men. He said this was proved by her giving everything, and the men had only given part of what they had. This gospel reading made me question today's society. I wonder if anyone would really be willing to give ALL that they have, especially for others that they do not even know. I do not like to have a lack of faith in humanity, because I believe that positivism is more effective than negativism, but I know I would not give all I have for the impoverished. Maybe I'm more selfish than the common man, but I do not think that the "common man" would give all they have for others either. This made me conclude that the society should work on fixing other's lives, rather than their own, and maybe things will fall into place.
