Being,doing good is humane Doing good spontaneously to any human is natural inclination .It shows our concern and desire to come to succour the needs of our species.Instictively to be drawn towards welfare of fellow wellbeing in distress is an act of charity.Our neutral stand or non commitment is indication of noninvolvelment to secure ourselves is selfish attitude.Exercising the choice of ignoring rendering service when in need is inhuman response.The worse is negative stroke that may aggravate the circumstances.Positive stroke or proactive approach activates our sense of commitment and humanness.Surprisingly even animals respond spontaneously to rescue their species in distress Doing good for goodness sake is rewarding for self satisfaction and internal joy as an opportunity to express our worth.No reward, praise recognition or appreciation should be the hidden motive.Then there are no fangs of disappointment or regrets if actions are taken for granted and best simply ignored as non issue.The strong religious belief and faith states that feeding the hungry ,clothing the naked ,quenching of thirst etc are noble acts of kindness that are counted as acts towards the Divine.The idea of goodness is not to create a guilt feeling in the recipient to be indebted and humiliated by charity .The acts of goodness are not for publicity or self agradisement like politicians whose motive is bondage for votes .Politicians largasse if any is connected to status , position after being in power .and is inclination dominated to seek return.Bob Marley " living for others ,is to live again" The goodness and love of mother without expectations is the purest act of goodness.Tata did not find true happiness with success, acquisition of goods ,expansion, monopoly but forced donations of wheel chairs to the the disabled .Catching his feet the recipient said that she wanted to capture his face for sure to meet in heaven.Tata then ventured into humanitarian causes of hospitals ,institutions to derive the intoxicants, opium of lasting happiness Rockefeller was sentenced to death with no medical hope at the age 45 .He immrdiately donated a small percentage of his wealth for humanitarian welfare .This act spurred a fountain of well being within that he lived past the age of 90. The recipients sometimes May not openly admit the benevolence of goodness ,but throught their life feel indebted towards the goodwill benefactor.Doing good acts is not confined to material benefits alone.A patient listening ,moral support , assisting in finding solutions to a vexed problem,standing firmly in hour of crisis,arranging help from other sources are higher forms of elevating the goodness.It does not involve material or financial support More often than not acts of thoughtfulness will also be recognised publicly without your demand or expectations.Such propositions give immense joy .Appreciation can fuel human actions to greater heights and repeated performances .There is no denying the fact that recognition whether public or private in any form can stimulate further .The example of ten leppers, expresses ingratitude of 9 others.Gratitude in actions is not directed towards the benefactor but inspiration in our life to spread and to continue the chain.Every human does aspire instrincally to light the fire of goodness by thoughts, words and action . The compassion and degree may wary.To some it is religion to others it may be chance and opportunity for personal sacrifice .Even unexpressed gratitude does modify the recipients and moulds their disposition.The greatest effects of good acts is on self , self satisfaction,feeling of elation of being instrumental of being useful, purposeful to have been able to fill the void The charitable institutions that have sprung today serving humanity in every sphere of life are the brain child's of individual efforts, sacrifices and detreminations to make a dent ,touch , a perceptible difference in the lives of others .If at all any one will be cherished and long remembered, is only by works of goodness that have touched the lives of others.Mother Teresa, Jesus Budha, among few others and our compatriots who are epitome of goodness and who are immortalised in our hearts and minds for their meaningful acts towards us.Good acts from strangers make us rejoice,as their are no strings attached for return favours Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
