Donating Triggers Good Vibes
By Brett Kondratiew
Giving vs Receiving
Remember back all those years when as a child, you couldn’t wait for Christmas. What marvelous presents am I going to get this time? It was all about you, but as you mature, you realize that it’s the giving that makes you feel good. That giving makes you feel better than receiving.
Scientific fact that donating makes you feel good
Donating to your charity of choice is pretty much the same; and the reason behind it is has some scientific evidence. The reason we feel good about it, is because it activates the pleasure centers in the brain. Donating is a real “mood booster” much like the feeling that many feel when they exercise.
Helping Others in Need
Fortunately, most of us in the western world were born into favorable circumstances. Therefore, I believe it should be an obligation of those with abundance to help those in need. Donating is not just for human beings. Animals suffer all forms of cruelty and because they are helpless and without a voice, the question of donating should be a “no brainer”. Whether it be to stop poaching of elephants or to end the clearing of the Orangutan habitat for palm oil production animals face daily victimization by humans. Only the really insensitive would not feel a need to help.
