Charity

Nearly everyone knows how important charity is. The one that have gives away to the one that don’t have. Sound simple enough and most common is to give 10% of your income, as long as it doesn’t turn you into a needy person of course. And yet, not a lot of people collect regularly in a charity box or give regularly money to charity organisations. 

According to an interesting theory I have read when one gives charity there are three benefiters. The first one is the recipient who gets the charity and fulfils his needs. The second is the donor, as by giving donation one benefit spiritually. By giving away from what one has the donor is actually saying that he is rich. He can spare from what he has and therefore he must be grateful for his situation. And the more grateful you are for what you have the more you’ll have. But the third benefiter is our world. By giving away from what we have we make sure that the ones that do not have will rise to a higher step than they are at the moment. We might even save life!

In my home we have a charity box. We collect money on a regular basis and when we have what we think is substantial amount, we pass it on to a charity for the poor. But there are all kinds of ways to be charitable. You can volunteer in places that are based on charity; you can donate to an organisation you believe in or that helped you or a member of your family in the past, and recently I found that you can also donate via recycling. Amazing! You have all the tree benefiters in one J

It might be worth it to look around for things that have been with you for a long time and were not in use. It might be really useful for someone else. It might dramatically improve someone’s life.
