In The Spirit Of The Season

[Trainer Monkey]

Because someone is impoverished doesnt mean they dont have the capacity to teach you,even if what theyre teaching you is something about yourself.
Ive done numerous charitable acts over the years, and every single time,I learned something about the human condition,and no good deed goes unrewarded,that was the reward.
This season,go talk to a homeless person,and buy him a sandwich. Volunteer at a soup kitchen if just for Christmas.Hell,help an old lady across the road.
Youd be suprised what you'll learn,and knowledge is a gift that will give back to you the rest of your days. And even if all you learn is that you allieviated the suffering of one less fortunate then yourself,that alone will keep you warm on a cold winters night.
I know I put it in selficous terms,but lets face it all of our actions are relative to our self. For your self,dont just write a check,go and meet the people your check was meant for. They are people,and they can enrich your life.
