“In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do”
~Dorothea Dix (Social Reformer, 1802-1887)
Once I step out of my home, I witness poverty. After every 2 minutes I see a beggar. I regularly witness injustice. I see scams on the T.V. I see hunger. I feel bad, what I am doing for this vast multitude of problems? Close to nothing.
You can say I am not responsible enough. But I really do not have the power to change Everything. I do what I can. I don’t do much, I do small little acts of kindness. My generation or the Generation Y is too intellectual. We have questions and too many of them. When we look at a poor, our immediate reaction is to think why that person is poor, in India, we curse the country for housing millions of poor. In some other country, we show sympathy, talk among ourselves and move on.
I say, we all should do some humanitarian work. The word ‘donate’ means to Give, with Will. Giving doesn’t always involve money, it means to give anything you can. Volunteer and give your time to the needy. Give away those old used up clothes and toys. Donate money if you are blessed enough to do so.
Why do Charity?
1. SATISFACTION- Believe me, there is no greater satisfaction than doing charity. The peace of mind you get after feeding a hungry child is boundless. You feel good about yourself, a rarity these days. Life is somehow better.
2. HELP- You are saving lives. You are helping those in need. You are giving a second life to people who are less fortunate. A glass of clean water is a life saver for some. Imagine the possibilities. Imagine the change you can bring with some efforts. You my friend are an angel to them.
3. Meet New People- When you go out and participate in relief camps and the like, you meet new people. You see what is happening around the world and you notice the extent to which others are going to help some strangers. In short, you make some awesome friends!
4. You make this world a better place to live!
What you get in return?
Nothing and if that question cropped up in your mind, don’t do charity. You never get anything in return when you help some poor people. As Martin Luther King Junior rightly puts it–
“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”
Love the Magic of This picture. I know you will Love it too.
It was and it is always your choice because ‘We only have what we Give’
