The Solution for our Society:
Altruism
Altruism
The issue is whether
you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime.
you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime.
What is Altruism?
What is the moral code of altruism? The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue and value.
Do not confuse altruism with kindness, good will or respect for the rights of others.
These are not primaries, but consequences.
Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether you should or should not give a dime to a beggar.
That is not the issue.
The issue is whether you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime.
The issue is whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you.
The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence.

Kindness & Generosity
“I will not be hurt if my gift is undervalued. When I give
generously expect nothing in return.”
“From the infinitely changeless vessel of spirit, I savour the
inexhaustible richness of generosity.”

The world’s best and oldest questions are what really make us happy?
This secret boils down to two things – Giving and Getting. Did you receive something from someone, or did you give something to someone?
We have two hands: One to receive and the other to give.
Take stock of what you have to give to others – whether practical, emotional,
constructive or empathetic.
So open your arm, open your heart to share, to give and find joy and happiness in giving.
Those who keep their arms crossed and their heart closed do not get much joy and happiness in their life. True, we get our share of troubles and sadness. We also get a lot of tiny delights – and they are everywhere all around us.
May I remind you to open your arms as wide as possible and receive it as much you can,
that you can share it and give it to others, as none needs more to learn about giving who has a hard time to give.
Give to others while expecting nothing -
in return invokes your well being, your kindness, and your harmony to others.
If we have wealth, but no friends, we cannot be happy.
If we have friends, even without wealth, we are the rich, the wealthy,
the happy, the healthy, and the wonderful human being.

This Homeless Man
Fell Down
By Barbara Diamond
What would you do if you saw a man on crutches fall down on the sidewalk? Now, what if that man was homeless? Would it change the way you react? This video set out to answer the question:
Does appearance change the way people are treated?
This experiment resulted in some pretty surprising results. First, a “successful” business man falls down on the sidewalk. Many people rush to his aid and help him back up, which is wonderful to see.
But what happens when a man dressed like a homeless man falls? Watch the video to find out. The results are much different, and I will say that everyone should have helped out the ‘homeless” man the same as they helped out the “successful” one.
