#Social Contribution

Charity is the ceremony of nurturing one’s superiority under the noble pretext of saving the less fortunate. Its true reward lies in the dual gifts of gratitude and tax deductions. Each act of giving is sowed into the fertile soil of self-satisfaction, growing under applause and receipts. On the stage called goodwill, the performance’s final act is to bask in the spotlight of one’s own praise.

A donation is a ceremony to drape mercy over others’ hardship while illuminating one’s own conscience. Whether small or large, it becomes the ultimate self-affirmation device by collecting likes on social media. The promise of giving without expectation is often broken with attached proof photos. The hand that extends help usually clutches its own name badge.

Volunteering is the act of willingly taking on extra tasks for others. It thrives on a delicate blend of praise and self-satisfaction in unpaid labor. Donning the mask of goodwill while occasionally indulging in the alchemy of recognition, it becomes a public performance of benevolence. A pseudo-anesthetic of hope administered to a weary world, this self-sacrifice showtime carries its own dose of discomfort.
