Goodness of doing good Most humans are disposed towards benevolent activities towards others. They do not seek gratification or rewards but are simply delighted to do what they love best and do their best what they love . .The inspiration and motivation is genuine concern and emphaty towards others they come in contact. Mothers love for her children is the greatest sacrifice and goodness that has no parallel.Showering of goodness by lovers, husband wife, siblings,that generosity is on a different level of relationship not entirely selfless .and there is expectation of return favour however remote.The satisfaction of emptying oneself for the betterment of others is intrinsically gratifying. Is God considered selfish in desiring that He be loved and adored or is it the otherway, when we feel elated, sublimed or overwhelmed within ourselves? Every action of doing good has its own value and response reaction is bound to be equal and opposite that is Newtons law of motion. The pain that one endures within on witholding deliberately our response to do good is raging fire that consumes our own feel good factor.The happiness one derives spontaneously of being able to make a difference in the life of another leads to happiness unlimited .Similarly the recipients of goodness sometimes also purposively show withdrawn ,subdued reaction or ignore such acts as insignificant of recognition.May be the feeling of guilt complex is their muted response The ingratitude of those receiving favours can be heartless at times.when the purpose and intention is not to make someone indebted or obliged, there is no feeling of remorse or repentance .Why should any one feel disheartened of doing good when one can for its intrinsic worth.? Never resent ,repent for doing good when opportunity presents itself.The missed opportumity of witholding a good act by word , deed on the contrary cause heart burns, for the situation may not repeat itself.In the cure of ten lepers only one displayed sense of gratitude.It is the part of human nature to be ungrateful then otherwise. The multitudes of humanity extending help in times of calamities, natural disasters beyond relationship or even knowing those in distress is goodness unlimited.Sometimes people do not openly wish to express gratitude for favours received and such behaviour may not be adversely interpreted as ingratitude.It is human nature to take advantage when in need and expect understanding as a matter of right and duty. You can only wonder and laugh at such acts of indifference ,for that will put one at ease and comfort If gratitude alone was precondition and motivation, goodness of human nature would be lost in the wilderness and occean of ingratitude.Some may seek and make you feel guilty but others are embarassed aeffusive thanks as they neither maintain ,keep diary or have records and counts of benevolent acts People often delay till death , as funeral oratories and obituaries are recognition of out pouring of gracious goodness It could have had multiplying effect of furthering that gift when the oerson was alive.How does one feel at the expression of the debtor that he does not remember what he owes? The audacity of others that good acts are in the nature of an opportunity and nothing to brag or boast about.Do you remember that for all the miracles, favours Jesus was crucified and those that were granted favours had no voice or the courage to defend his senseless murder.Even if one does not acnowledge gratitude directly doing a good turn to another is much more gratifying.
Wedding gifts bouquets, funeral obituaries are acknowledged in general and publicly and are impersonal , adding insult to injuries by stating regrets and inability to thank individually. Was the invitations to your celebration general or personal.? Special thank you notes, commercial cards are the best , personal means to show appreciation even though it is not expected but it keeps relationship and friendship warm and alive The piece of wedding cake says *thanks* and that is a good gesture The acceptance of goodness and communicating it does good good to both and often an encouragement to enhance human nature of being and doing good Gratitude is the milk of human kindness that provides nourishment to do acts of generous magnanimity for the wrlfare of humanity.What is the reward for philanthrophy if not good of humanity?
