Some people say that there is no such thing as a selfless act. Sometimes people believe that whatever we do to help another person, we get something in return. Sad but true! However, not all people do this just out of selfish intentions, but few do it to feel good about themselves and show they care.
Not all people are good-hearted. Some people show concern just for the sake of doing it. I do not like that. They show that they care because they want to be recognized. I am used to bearing a burden of responsibility. I take care of almost everyone without expecting any return. I give because I want to, not because I want to have something in return.
When you do a favor and expect a return, then you are doing business, not kind. Simple things get complicated when you wait too long. The truth is that I like to help people. It makes me feel good to give. I’m not doing it to get anything back. I just think the more you give, the more you get. It is human nature to want to pay. But honestly, it’s because giving is a gift.
If you do, it will eventually come back to you, even when that is not your intention. And when it is not, you have the satisfaction of helping someone, which is my experience. Although apart from modesty, we all have bills to pay and many of us have mouths to feed, especially me, who am a single mother; But when it comes to helping, I’m very happy just doing it. I don’t feel stingy about it, the world has a way of rewarding such generosity.
You can’t help everyone. But helping someone because you care and don’t care about the results, it makes you feel satisfied. People are usually good by nature. They want to help other people whenever they can. Some will even go beyond their means to help someone in need if they have been deeply moved by the circumstances of the needy.
When you do good, you must be sincere. You have to be honest with yourself. Never focus on anything about yourself. You put that person in need before you. Selfishness destroys the greatness of an action. You may not want money or other tangible benefits from your good deed, but to want recognition for what you have done is to expect something in return; which is not correct.
The reality is, it’s not about how big the favor was, it may be the smallest thing ever. You do things because you want to do them, not under pressure or of any kind. Every time you do something, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, and you never think about what you will get in return, the good deeds are magnified and come back to you when you least expect them.
