Here are a couple of musings on doing good worldwide, whether you're dealing with world hunger or helping a neighbour.
There is an assumption that if you're not attempting to fix every kind of crisis under the sun, you are in some way not satisfying your duties as a good person. Obviously, all of us know that that isn't the case at all, and there are a lot of things that require our attention that it would be difficult for anyone to try and right all the world's wrongs all on their own. Fortunately, no one is by themselves, there are 7 billion individuals to help! From philanthropists who help the poor to nature lovers who look after the environment, all of us have an impact in our own method.
There's no greater virtue than generosity and compassion. To be remembered as the most generous person in history, or even the most generous individual that someone knows, would be the most terrific legacy that anybody could ever hope to leave. Naturally, it's not likely that anybody would ever receive the title of the most charitable person in the world, because there are numerous people doing such terrific work in a lot of different locations, each as essential as each other. From Bulat Utemuratov to Marcel Arsenault, there are benefactors all over the globe making every effort to help others, utilizing their hard earned success to make the world a better place. Frequently, it's the objective of a person's profession to be able to get to the point where they can turn away from work in the routine sense and start doing the truly important work that is satisfying to them, concentrating on improving the world however they can.
There actually is no feeling like doing a kind deed. Although we typically seem to see doing good as some selfless sacrifice, and admitting that it does have a favorable influence on our own lives and feelings is something to be ashamed of, it is among the strangest peculiarities of our modern-day culture. Doing good feels good, and that's what's so wonderful about it! Why should kind deeds not be rewards with a radiant heat in one's heart that comes along with understanding that they have helped somebody, whether it's somebody that you will never ever meet who has actually been effected by a catastrophe on the other side of the world, or somebody in need that you stroll past on your route to the train. It need not be some huge act on the scale of celebrity philanthropists like Cari Tuna either, even the tiniest acts of compassion can entirely alter somebody's day for the better, and you can rather appropriately walk with a spring in your step and a smile on your face (which can be an act of generosity in its own peaceful way as well).
