Do good

Too often, way too often, people misinterpret the act of doing good.

I don't blame them, we are all under this idea that doing good is to give food to the poor, to provide an education for an orphan, or to put shoes on a barefoot child's feet.. But the question that arises is,

Is that the only way to do good?

We are not all capable of giving out money, some need that little bit of money they get to live their own lives, others have a family to take care of... So how does one do good when they can't abide by society's rules for "doing good"?

Let's look at this example.. A friend of yours is always there for you, is always helping you become the best person you can be, advising you with only good intentions.. Would you say they're doing good? Are they servicing the society?

Some, most actually, would probably define this person as a good friend, a good person maybe, or even just a kind-hearted person - but what most people miss, is that providing a steady, reliable helping hand for those in need, even when they are in need of things not including money, food, clothes, an education, is still a service.

You're helping create a more established society, one that is based on trust, honesty, reliability, loyalty.. Is that not a service to your society? To your people? Are you not helping someone - doing good? 

So..

Is doing good to travel to a third world country and helping out at an orphanage?

Yes. 

Is doing good keeping the door open for someone while entering/leaving a place?

Yes. 

Is doing good paying the fees for an orphan's education?

Yes. 

Is it doing good to be there for a friend?

YES!


Keep it in mind -

To do good has no/sees no limits.
