Being good is good; here are a few simple truths about charity and kindness in everyday life.
There is an assumption that if you're not attempting to resolve every kind of crisis under the sun, you are in some way not fulfilling your tasks as a good person. Obviously, we all understand that that isn't the case at all, and there are so many things that require our attention that it would be impossible for anybody to try and right all the world's wrongs all on their own. Fortunately, nobody is by themselves, there are 7 billion people to assist! From philanthropists who help the poor to nature lovers who take care of the environment, we all have an effect in our own way.
There truly is no feeling like doing a kind deed. Although we often appear to see doing good as some selfless sacrifice, and admitting that it does have a favorable effect on our own lives and sensations is something to be ashamed of, it is among the strangest quirks of our contemporary culture. Doing good feels good, which's what's so fantastic about it! Why must good deeds not be rewards with a radiant warmth in one's heart that comes with understanding that they have assisted somebody, whether it's someone that you will never ever know who has been effected by a catastrophe on the other side of the world, or someone in need that you walk past on your route to the train. It needn't be some grand act on the scale of celebrity philanthropists like Cari Tuna either, even the tiniest acts of kindness can totally alter someone's day for the better, and you can quite appropriately walk around with a spring in your step and a smile on your face (which can be an act of generosity in its own peaceful way as well).
There's no higher virtue than generosity and kindness. To be recalled as the most generous person in history, or perhaps the most generous person that someone knows, would be the most terrific legacy that anyone could ever want to leave. Of course, it's not likely that anybody would ever get the title of the most charitable person in the world, because there are a lot of individuals doing such terrific work in so many different areas, each as critically important as each other. From Bulat Utemuratov to Marcel Arsenault, there are benefactors all over the world making every effort to help others, using their hard made success to make the world a better place. Frequently, it's the objective of an individual's career to be able to get to the point where they can turn away from work in the regular sense and start doing the truly essential work that is satisfying to them, concentrating on enhancing the world however they can.
