Charity

I can never understand what it means by Charity nowadays. Seeing what is currently happening in the college, it actually sparks my brain to start thinking about Charity. Is charity all about having a show or a concert, and with the collection from the show, donate everything to the NGOs? Is this what you call charity? This is actually what is happening in the college. Here we are, in the name of charity, and have all sorts of concerts so that we can have fun and at the same time donate it to the needys. Is this what you call charity? Which one should come first. Charity or fun. In this context, it is more like fun. We have fun by having all sorts of concerts. All the concerts are supposed to help us to relax ourselves because we are so stress up and at the same time...do some good by donating all the money. Donate! Donate! and thats all we do. We don't even bother to go there, have a look at them, and help them out in anyway that we can. But then...just donate some money and let the NGO to continue on with whatever that they can do to help. That is really what you call by charity in this college.

What has happened to the real meaning of charity where you go to the NGO and ask them how you can help the needys in term of lending a helping hand? What has happened to all that. Not that the students have anything more important to do. They are free most of the time and therefore they should be able to go there to help out. At least, with this way, the students will really learn what is charity is all about. Not just by donating. If we imply to the kids that charity is all about organzing events and donating money, no wonder now in Malaysia, this is what they are only thinking of. They don't even know what kind of things all the unfortunate have to go through, In other words, the objective is good, to do a concert for charity, but the outcome is bad. They never know and learn what have the unfortunate have gone through and thats the best thing in this world.
