Even a smile is an act of charity.

Yes, of course! I know that this is going to sound crazy but, I think that if you help people it spreads happiness. (you help someone, they help someone else....and on and on) Then maybe someday when you need help it will come back to you!

GOOD QUESTION!\nI think that if each person does one good thing to someone else, then everyone would benefit from both, getting something and knowing that you have given to someone who is in need. Close your eyes and Imagine that you live on the streets, with nothing to eat, one suit of clothes, and it is dreadfully cold/hot. you see people driving /walking pass you, pretending that you don't even exist. How would you feel? Many people do things out of bitterness and the need to survive. the little that you do would definitely make someones day. So yes I do think that it is our duty, even in the smallest ways, you can make a difference.

this only means that the actions you should make must benefit the company. (i.e., earn money) donating to charities, per se, does not equate to the company's best interest. however, if the company publicize this, this then becomes a strategy to act on behalf of the company's best interest.

I like giving. I always wanted to be a philanthropist but I can't really afford it.

I've always been the type of person who loves to do the charity thing for those unfortunate people I see on streets(selling flowers, candies, newspapers for a living). I've always wanted to offer them help but I have nothing but my allowances. So this is the very thing I will do with my power. Make these people feel they belong to the society.

It's more enjoyable, that's for sure. I'd rather see the joy on my nieces' and nephews' faces when I give them things than just about anything in the world.\n\nThe "blessed" stuff - well, I'm not sure that's important. One should give because it helps people and makes them happy, not because of the promise of some future heavenly reward.

Well I do not solicit points but if are you feeling generous I suppose I could force myself to accept them :D

Sometimes it just feels good to help somebody. Try it!

YES! I try to help anyone when ever it is feasible.I have been that homeless person many years ago, and if it wasn't for people's kindness and generosity, I could still very well be there today. It's karma to help people whenever it is in your power to do so.

I believe, along with Paul McCartney et all, "in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"  This is eloquent support for the idea of Karma.\n\nHowever you don't have to believe in the concept of 'karma' in order to know that doing good things simply feels good.  Being kind and nice to others simply makes the world a better place and improves your chances of being the recipient of a kind action.\n\nIt doesn't take a lot of knowledge of statistics to know that it takes a lot of rolls of the die to get things to work out evenly.  Ask a Las Vegas denizen.\n\nBad things happen to even the best people and you just have to find a way to deal with them.  If you are nice to people you are very likely to have more friends than people who are not nice.  Friends are worth more than anything and will help you deal with misfortune and will heal you.\n\nAnyway keep on doing good things and keep on believing that good things will happen to you in return.  If karma is real then you will get repaid if it is not true then you are still making the world a better place and that is payment enough.\n\nAnd one more thing, even if you do get repaid for all your kind and loving deeds, it may not come from the same source that you gave it to.  Love comes from surprising sources.

Even though I am unemployed and my family is hurting, I went to a local chain grocery and collected their donated bakery goods that would go out of date soon and delivered them to a local food pantry.  It felt great to be able to give, especially when I have need myself.  I like giving a lot better than receiving, and it boosted my self-esteem to be able to anonymously help someone without expecting any tangible return.
