RE: What's the point

in Reflectionslast year

I confess that I have not been able to read to the end. For some reason I don't tolerate well people who make their "good deeds" public. They put me in a bad mood. I am not religious but a quote from the Bible I think is appropriate in this case ":let not your left hand know what your right hand does, so that your almsgiving may be a secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Which I believe the quote that sums up my opinion regarding the subject. If things are done from the heart the good deed is enough. If charity is made public then, I believe, what is sought, is only the praise of others and charity is only a means to that end. That is to say it is a form of manipulation. This is my opinion. Thank you very much and
Greetings

Hi there, that was only one small aspect of this post but I agree with you for sure, people are out there self-promoting for the feeling of validation or relevance (whatever else) they get from it which is something I don't respond well to, it's quite repellent.

I hope your weekend goes well and you manage to do something enjoyable.

I was reading your post at a sacred time for me: breakfast. I preferred to read something else and come back to the text later. I don't like to start the day angry, hahaha! You are right the text is also about other aspects. Have a nice weekend

Haha, breakfast is sacred to me also...as is lunch and dinner and a snack in between each.
