Little acts of selfishness erode our capability to truly love. Eventually we discover ourselves knowing nothing but loving ourselves, and forgetting how to truly love others the way they should be loved.
It is not how much you give that matters. But how much love accompany that giving. Millions maybe given; but without love, what merit does that giving brings? Give then with love, and let that love determine how much you need to give.
Only the heart that is pure and free of attachment to the glories and materials of this world can have the eyes to see beyond the trappings of this world. Grace clears the eyes of the person whose heart is prepared to receive grace. That is why even the most intelligent persons will not see the errors of their ways, having been blinded by pride and selfishness. Only the humble heart sees what no one else can see.
