RE: "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." #LightTheWorld day 13

Thank you @gavvet. I am always glad when your post pops up on my feed. You are blessing to many by this #lighttheworld. Glad i am a part of it since the start. I was really reflecting when you talked about the places of humility and pride in helping people.
You see ego is a dangerous thing; it can overcome you to the point where you're blinded by selfishness. When doing good deeds, you shouldn't be thinking about what you're going to get in return. The moment you put an expectation to a good deed, it ruins the beauty of it. It's not the same anymore, it's been stained with selfish motives. It's not a good thing anymore, it's a disguise to a benefit you want to reap afterwards. You don't want that, it's dirty!

When you do good, you need to have sincerity in your heart. You have to be honest with yourself. You need to be thinking genuinely about helping that other person and not have any thoughts whatsoever about you at all. You put that needy person before you. I had a lot i am taking away from this. Its not about the giving, but the motive of giving and what attitude you have at heart while giving.
