SHAME SENSE OF PHILANTHROPY
Oh!! A cyclone in Orissa! A tsunami in Tamil Nadu! How
the brook has inundated their lives. I quickly donated some meagre amount of
money through my office portal. Now, the company will be conducive of passing
my benevolence to the unfortunates! WOW, what a sense of Philanthropy.
I am such a kind hearted person depicting my canine
loyalty towards society. Just that,
I never cared to
know if my amount reached correct hands.
I never bothered to wonder what the actual needs of dying
people there are.
I never thought of the sudden demise of their life and
property!
What a SHAME SENSE OF PHILANTHROPY.
Sacrifice, altruism, being ascetic comes in small acts
straight from our heart rather than total abeyance.
Getting late for office, but made a point to get down,
cross to reach the other side of road just to give a guava to a pauper kid and
see him smile. That’s a sense of bliss and happiness.
Stopping your car only to let a bicycle wallah go first
and seeing him feeling elated. That’s a sense of amiability.
Getting up at two in the midnight just to make sure if
your grandma has draped her blanket cozily in this chilly, brittle winter.
That’s a sense of altruism.
Damocles’ sword of deadline, but taking a moment to help
a fresher sweating is way out to understand what needs to be done. That’s a
sense of modesty.
Getting late for a much awaited party, only to feed your
mum with garama garam chapattis, just the way she likes it. That’s a sense of
unconditional love.
Understanding people. Understanding their grief. Understanding
their forlornness. Understanding their desires and needs.
That is philanthropy. And not just ticking on a checkbox
of donating 1 Re while making a payment of your new Fossil watch of 10k!
