I’m a big fan
of giving anonymously.
If I hear,
for example,
a kid needs a backpack
for school,
I’ll drop one off
on their doorstep
with a note
‘from the universe’
(or something like that).
I’ll ring the doorbell,
wait out of their view
and ensure they pick it up.
Because they can’t attribute
the gift
to one person,
they tend to attribute
it to EVERYONE.
That makes their world
a happier,
kinder,
more generous place.
It also saves their pride.
And I don’t have to do
the ‘no, you take it,
I’m sure about it’
dance.
Consider giving
anonymously.
