Being good is good; here are a couple of simple truths about charity and generosity in daily life.
There is an assumption that if you're not attempting to solve every sort of crisis under the sun, you are somehow not satisfying your responsibilities as a good person. Of course, all of us know that that isn't the case at all, and there are many things that need our attention that it would be difficult for anyone to attempt and right all the world's wrongs all by themselves. Fortunately, nobody is by themselves, there are 7 billion individuals to help! From philanthropists who help the poor to nature enthusiasts who care for the environment, we all have an effect in our own way.
There truly is no sensation like doing a good deed. Although we typically appear to see doing good as some selfless sacrifice, and confessing that it does have a favorable impact on our own lives and feelings is something to be embarrassed of, it is among the strangest quirks of our contemporary culture. Doing good feels good, which's what's so wonderful about it! Why should kindness not be rewards with a radiant warmth in one's heart that comes with knowing that they have actually assisted somebody, whether it's somebody that you will never know who has been effected by a disaster on the other side of the world, or somebody in need that you stroll past on your route to the train. It need not be some huge act on the scale of celebrity philanthropists like Cari Tuna either, even the tiniest acts of kindness can completely change someone's day for the better, and you can quite rightly walk around with a spring in your step and a smile on your face (which can be an act of generosity in its own quiet way also).
There's no higher virtue than charity and compassion. To be remembered as the most generous person in history, or even the most generous person that someone knows, would be the most fantastic tradition that anybody might ever hope to leave. Of course, it's not likely that anyone would ever receive the title of the most charitable person in the world, since there are numerous individuals doing such wonderful work in so many different areas, each as essential as each other. From Bulat Utemuratov to Marcel Arsenault, there are benefactors all over the world making every effort to assist others, utilizing their hard gained success to make the world a better place. Typically, it's the objective of an individual's profession to be able to get to the point where they can turn away from work in the routine sense and begin doing the truly essential work that is fulfilling to them, focusing on improving the world however they can.
