EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS



So far I have done a few posts about the forecast of some Chinese astrological signs for they year of the Ox next year. And in each of the posts, I have mentioned that one of the best ways to overcome some dangers or bad luck is by doing charity to those who are less fortunate. It does not really matter if a person contributes 10 sen or 10,000 Malaysian ringgit. It is the sincerity of wanting to give something in order to help that matters most. For a small child who might be given pocket money of 50 sen, putting in 10 sen into the donation box is considered a big contribution as he will have only 40 sen left to spend on his food during recess time. But it is the genuine act of wanting to help that matters most. Do not give to charity just for purposes of getting tax exemption or wanting to show off that one is very generous and rich. That would really defeat the purpose. Do it because you really want to give something in order to help. If you do not have money, then donate your time or your energy. Helping out at the Old Folk's Home and orphanages is also a form of doing charity work. Then there are those who donate blood to save lives - yet again an act that is meritorious. Even helping an old lady across the road is also a charitable deed. See there is so much that we can do and contribute - so do start now by doing your bit to make our world a happier and better place. Believe me, you will become a better and happier person for it.
