Many years ago, I worked at a certain foundation, the boss was a well-known doctor, the CEO of the foundation. He said, that most of the funds from the foundation were from donations, that the pays for the employees shouldn’t be high, this I’d agreed with him on, so, I’d not had a single complaint.
Because I’d worked for the foundation for a long time, I’d known several kindhearted gentle elderly men, one was the CEO’s father-in-law, he’s a hardworking, mild, gentle, and kind elderly man, at the start of every single year, he’d brought by a check of a million dollars to donate to the foundation, and he’d kept up his donations for over a decade, until he passed away. I’d heard, that he’d donated a lot of money, to other charities too.
There was an elderly man of ninety-seven, once he and I met out to discuss the details of a function, after the meals, he’d especially told me, to get the butter I didn’t finish to go, his level of saving up the resources was truly, impressive, and this respectable elderly man was also, a long-term donor of our foundation.
A while back, I’d returned home, to my elementary school reunion, my best friend, Feng-Chu was too busy working, and couldn’t make it, the few of us friends went to her shop to say hi. As she saw us, she was ecstatic, kept bringing out foods for us to taste, there was the freshly pickled plum, she’d even used the spring water from her own house, to make us some teas, and her husband was right by, ushering, welcoming us, guests, who were like locusts, passing through a field.
Of all the people listed, each and every one of them had been generous, they’re like living Buddhas; they’d all had a heart of gratitude, done good deeds without the recognitions, not asking for anything in return, I’m truly blessed, for having known them all.
So, these are, the kind souls you’d met in the world, and there are, a TON of kindhearted people who are out there, just doing good deeds, with absolutely NO selfish motives, and a lot of them chose to remain anonymous, because they don’t want others to focus on anything other than the fact, that they’re trying to help make the world a better place.
