That's why charity work is very selfish at the same time, because it makes you feel good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The charity work is just a part of what I do. Like... I make time to clean my house, to care for my pets, to visit my extended family, because those things are important to me. Same with helping others.
To me, charity often is just about giving, because you're supposed to, or because it's what you've always done - or it's about giving until it hurts.
Charity is important; so is being fair and honest and honorable in your business - but you cannot mix the two.
Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.
It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others.
You can't take care of charity unless you take care of yourself first.
If you don't improve the lives of the poor, it's not charity.
I'm not selfish. I am where I am because I have worked very hard and have always done my job.
Being charitable provides a boost to your psyche that is tough to replicate in any other way. But note that although any charity will happily take your money, you can give in other ways and still reap the same happiness reward. Volunteering and donating your old or unused belongings have the same result.
Charity is just writing checks and not being engaged. Philanthropy, to me, is being engaged, not only with your resources but getting people and yourself really involved and doing things that haven't been done before.
