I am a big believer of giving and trying to help my neighbor. Giving and helping others gives me a good feeling for my soul and body. I know that I have been blessed and I can spread those blessing by helping others. It is said that you should decide in your heart how to give. I have been taught through my religious upbringing that you should not give reluctantly or in response to pressure. I believe that those who share freely and give generously will have their good deeds remembered forever. I was taught to do good, to others since I was young. As a good Christian, the emphasis of doing good is even more evident. We should do good and help others because we want to and it should come from your heart.
I really think that when people are involved in a cause or care about giving it gives them a good feeling knowing that they are able to make a difference in someone’s life. You never hear of a person who is giving and caring complaining or looking for answers to why they don’t feel good or why they are not happy. Many people today spend their lives chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only to find that money doesn’t buy happiness. Or they try and fill their lives with material items that may give them some short term satisfaction but in the end they continue to look to fill the emptiness in their life. I know that acting on my values gives me happiness no matter what they may be.
