Better do some meditation and know god and his ways, his what why ,directly 

and be a partner in god 's works, 
no less will help, including helping the poor and needy, and those in distress
once one with god, you are a true help to all, to universe whole
small things waste of life, never ending puzzle.
it's more easy to know the total story, than knowing infinite bits and pieces, 
and it's possible to capture the totality in own one grip, and run the universe per one's whim and wish
