Giving is more than receiving.
In our lives we donate in different forms. whether it is money, objects, or time. I've come to know a person who cared selflessly for a injured friend in a hospital who suffered a devastating accident, providing comfort at the most venerable and darkest stage of his life. I've seen students formed a foundation to raise money to help a ill instructor, and there are plenty more cases where people donate their time and expertise to help others.Why do we donate? We do so not because we have to, it is because a greater cause that motivate us to give to others is more important and satisfactory than the mere possession of things. It makes us feel great to help others unconditionally. We can choose to hold on to materialistic things that are accessories to us, that might otherwise be necessity to others, or we can give them away knowing someone, somewhere can make the best out of them .
I've given a portion of my scholarship to help a young talented struggling musician , it wasn't much money but I am sure it was well served. The proceed from the opera "Sephro" I volunteer for was donated to a cancer research center. We've ran marathons for breast cancer patients and Alzheimer's disease. It has been a significant part of our life to help others. And we are proud of being part of that culture.
This fall we will be making more donations to various institutions. We spoke with one of the institutions about how a potential donation will be contributed. The staff member responded that all non cash donations will be auctioned off and the proceed will be directly divided between the research department. With great gratitude, they ensured us that our donation will help accomplishing some very important experiments and tasks. However in a slight depressing tone: there are less donations made to them than before, for a institution that heavily relies on major government funding, they are now having to make calls to ask for donations, in order to continue their researches. I'm not surprised, This nation is coming to face some most critical political and economical challenges...because of this, we need to continue donate to the society.
This year, why not make a donation in lieu of gifts to the family? Whatever your cause is, let's work together and make it happen.
I'm with ya!

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a nice, pointy animation for a long time, recent stuff produced by big corps are mostly junks(except Pixars). Smaller production are dying off because the economy, also the shrinkage of responsible audiences.
As for the "Goals", My goals are no different than yours :) I'm sure BB! And both of our grannies are still alive and well:D
