Charity

During this holiday season, we should strive to give a hand to others. Often enough, we consider most as our equal when it comes to our personal abilities and circumstances. However, we do not see that there are several personal circumstances that lurk beneath the surface that can severely handicap someone, such as depression, anxiety, or other health-related problems.  Also, when one has these circumstances placed in their lives, it is hard to see the circumstances on others. Often enough, we are focused on our own problems to a point where the problems of others seem less meaningful than ours, despite the serious effects it may have on them.  Charity allows see personal circumstances of others. If we have charity, then we will endure through our hardships and be able to better see the hardships of others. We will not be striving in life, but moving forward at a considerably good pace. It will also open doors in the lives of those around us. Charity never fails to bring miracles in our lives and the lives of others.

I agree. Being nice to someone for no good reasons can make the world better

I think that was very well written. I will argue, though, that focusing on others instead of yourself can sometimes enable a person to remain in the prison that was created for them... The worst feeling is when you can't escape something, when someone hurt you and there was nothing you could do to stop it. The only way to "escape" is similar to meditation. One is present physically, but mentally they have checked out. This will temporarily stop the pain, but eventually, it WILL come out. Usually at the soonest point that you are mentally able to deal with it.
