The Essence of Giving Part Two

Naturally everyone wishes to enjoy their own life and to live life within there own way. I find that as a society in a general manner we are not much like our parent’s and grandparent that would do more within their community. In my earlier write I was writing with regards to what one has done within life for another.

 

Some are more within into themselves – I guess that goes along with freedom of speech but at the same time there are those that do have good recollections where they have done things for other people.

 

I myself have done some worthy things for some people I can say by way of fact. One of the greatest pleasures is within assisting others within family and outside of family. I had one friend that was in the serve and he had completely fallen and I not only helped him with clothing after he had a downfall several years ago. As well, I have helped people within oncology – ironically as it’s not my profession as for some reason it came to be that there were some that just wished to talk. I was the listener if you will. I will never forget one wife with a husband that was on his deathbed after speaking to her I found that she had no idea of how to talk to her husband of some 23 years. I went to see him on a weekend. Mind you this is some time ago and after with the allowance of his wife I went and took him a paper and then I just talked to him and after our discussion he said that he was most pleased that he could talk about what so many did not wish to talk about including his family.

 

To my surprise after he had passed on, as that was his wish, the family invited me to his funeral yet I had never know them before.

The old motto of doing good for others applies in so many ways. And as well there is a very good friend of mine that I assisted in Iraq and she went on to become a great photographer and now is living in Singapore.

 

I don’t know where I am going with this but I think that abundance is a combination of many things. It’s doing the right things within your own life as well as within those that some people do walk past and will either be scared to approach the situation but in some manner in how we approach things. The merit is in doing good deeds with others. And then I recall going seeing back some years ago outside of a gym on the streets of New York. It was a Vietnam Vet that life had seemed to pass him by. I had a very good police friend by the name of Orlando and we found him housing as well as we found him treatment.

 

The merits of what we have done and so often are so decent that one has done something sometimes without the person in need never knew that you had anything to do with it. I think there is merit within that. And I am sure that I am not the only one that has done things as such.
