two words that have recently surfaced in the papers. doing good is said to beget more good and it is supposed to just grow and grow. ideally. however, this is not true. being bombarded by charity shows on tv months after months, seeing people holding donation cans/bags on the streets on weekends (in fact, some have surfaced on weekdays), people with charity tickets trying to make you buy. all in the name of doing good. just how much doing good can a person take?
it's sad that charitable organisations are fighting for a share from doners. there is no difference as the situation in other cut-throat sectors. does it have to be this way? i naively used to think that they should just assign weights to all these organisations and money is pooled together to be distributed accordingly. who will determine which organisation deserves more weightage then? it is like trying to decide who deserves to live more than the other person.
ironically, it has been statistically proven that there is enough in this world to feed, clothe and house every single person comfortably. but are we willing to give up what we have to give another? such a sad world we live in.
