I've had just enough time to... to do a little charity.
Taken of the broad back of a World Vision Volunteer in Lebanon.
I
believe -
“The
most important virtue of any religion is compassion,
Without which
there is no reason for any religion.”
I also
believe that charity is for the needy irrespective of race, nationality,
religion, age, gender or any other artificial classification that defines and
divides what a human being is. I like to see charity in action – not just in
prayers and the building of temples but the building of hospitals and a helping
hand in the dire hours of needs.
I like
to form an emotional attachment so that I feel when I give. If I don’t feel
sadness and joy in equal measure, there is something wrong with me. I like to
see wounds being bandaged, hunger being satisfied, tears being wiped, spirits being
lifted. In short, I like to see the effect of kindness more than sympathy per
se. So I choose my charity carefully with the same principle which transcends beliefs,
borders, organizations or religions. This is my belief and I try to live up to
it.
