The Art of Giving

This Saturday, please take some time to remember the less fortunate in society. They could be the people you pass by in the streets,the so called homeless people. It could be that stray cat that has been out in the cold and which you unfortunately ignore come rain or shine. Or it could be that relative of yours who is still shackled in poverty and who you have somehow successfully managed to ignore. Or the children orphaned by HIV Aids or the millions still struggling to feed themselves after a devastating drought in the horn of Africa.

There is much to be gained by giving.Charity is a virtue that religion has taught us to extol and which gains rewards from the Almighty. You have to try hard to make sure that society is a better place to live in through a simple act of generosity. Start today and you'll notice the difference. You'll be a much better person.
