Donation

In your world, donation works very strangely at the moment. On the one hand, your financial system allows anyone to help anyone. However, unfortunately, one drawback of this current system is that someone can help others while only trying to serve their own interests.

Unfortunately, mixed feelings about donating prevent many people from helping others.

Notice how willing you are to give when someone asks you. Also, if you sincerely want to help someone, then how willing you are to give. Try to separate these two cases completely. This is very important, because if someone asks you for money against your will, it is a completely natural reaction to feel resentment. However, you should not confuse this with the intuitive suggestion that comes to everyone from time to time when they want to help someone or someone. In the latter case, the donor's task is to find out in what way and with what means (whether with money, free time, or just a kind word) to help the person he really loves.

If you want to give, then give, but it is very important that the person you want to give to is also open to receiving your donation. If you want to give in order to make yourself feel better, and you don't care about how the other party who receives your donation feels about accepting it, then you are not giving well.  A perfect donation is a transaction in which all participants participate voluntarily and feel good, and each participant feels better after donating.

If you find yourself reluctant to give to a particular person or persons, don't feel guilty about it. It is not anyone's job to donate. The beauty of donating is that it happens in a completely natural way, and during the process you and the recipient will be happier.

Always be open to all forms of donation, be it money, your free time, your professional advice, your emotional support, or any other way of sharing the resources available to you. Stay flexible when donating, and as soon as you notice that the method, quantity or quality of the donation is not suitable for the recipient, know that you can back out of this transaction at any time, because just because you intended to donate, you do not have to donate in a way that is not correct, inefficient, and can generate negative feelings in either party.

As a final thought, always remember that donating is not a competition, not an expectation, but a form of expression of love.

Let this be today's lesson.
