Giving back to society is in fact vague and misty in nature. There's so much that we procure from society. There are so many strata of people who make up the whole population of a nation but they are different from each other. Some are affluent and some are mere stragglers of survival. In many countries, there are masses who don't even have excess to basic day-to-day requirements. There are also people who have so much in excess, that the amounts if distributed, would solve many problems plaguing most areas around the world.
We don't live in a perfect world, and there's never going to be a perfect time to give—but there are always people out there in need of help. Whether interest rates are rising, the economy is in the doldrums, or even if you're experiencing financial difficulties of your own, the reality is that when you give,you help others who need it.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop
I believe that giving is motivated by humans deeply held need to find meaning in life. For most people, meaning is deeply intertwined with community connections (defining community as narrowly as family and as broadly as the full community of life). Giving (time, money, and energy) is a central way that we strive to find meaning. The motivations of each individual giver are of course unique and as we eat to satisfy our desire to live, we give to satisfy our desire for meaning.
“You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” – John Bunyan
Through the act of giving, you create opportunities to meet new people who believe in the same causes that inspire you. You make a real impact on those causes. If you've been stuck in a rut, whether personally or professionally, sometimes the simple act of giving can do the trick and reinvigorate your life. A man is measured by what he gives.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."―Winston Churchill
