Another Day, Another Deed

Well it's another Monday, day of opportunity to make a difference! I can remember when Monday's were dreadful, full of angst about what the disasters the week would bring. Not this Monday, on this day I have decided that I would do at least one good deed to start the week off! There is absolutely nothing else on earth that fill the soul as watching the face of a little child light up after receiving an unexpected gift. If giving is such a soul-fulfilling act, why is that so few of us do it? Why is that we have join a committee before we can commit to giving back to others? Why is the most common excuse, that of lack of time? Believe me, I am just as guilty of these transgressions against humankind. Sadly, it appears that we forget that belong to a community of human beings who are largely dependant on each other in very specific or even remote ways, however, we are connected to each other! This is either by divine intervention or evolutionary pre-disposition. Yet on a daily basis we go about our lives without a thought to how we could influence the plight of our fellow beings. Can this be construed as self-preservation or selfishness?
