I have something to say here. I have one of my friends who is a member of the blood donor society, their work is to collect blood from different people and provide it to thalassemia patients all over the country. He spread a word about it over every social media platform, I once asked him why you show up every time you do any achievement? He replied that my intention is to encourage other people to do good activities and help others. He also got a valid point that is why i said "oh ok then you are doing a good thing".
And yes I never care if people are looking or not. What I have to do, I do it with my full passion.
In the case of promoting a concept like blood donation I think there's a valid reason for spreading the word, I say this because there's a blood shortage in my country as no one seems all that keen to donate; he's raising awareness. However, there's a way to do it without making it seem like he's some kind of hero who deserves a medal right? It's a fine line.
Yup. I agree, I am also among those who hate when people try to show off their good deeds.
