Hi,
today I had a moral issue. Someone wanted me to donate for a cause that I don't believe in and I said no. I was directly accused that I don't want to do it. Well I did not care, I don't like to be pushed to do something especially to give something, even if it is for a good cause.
This does not mean that I don't donate, it means only that I like to choose when, where and to whom. I like to do it without publicity. Most when they donate they buy publicity, which for me is a no go.
I like the anonymity of the donation as the receiver shall not feel used but grateful.
I have some friends that belong to a certain religion and they are forced to donate 10% of their income. I find this as a tax. 10% tax for religion. The funds can't bee traced as they are used wisely by the religion leaders. Right....
If you see a poor human being asking for money for food, buy them food and don't give them the money. Like this you know for sure that they are going to eat.
Donate where you can make an impact and avoid big institutions. The bigger the institution is, the inefficient it gets and your money is spent mostly on some useless thing.
So, do you donate? Do you shout it loud so that you get publicity for it? Better asked, how do you do it?
