While in the UK, some people used to give money to celebrate people’s birthdays. The sum of money was tiny at times, less than £1.
It made me think – this helps with your inner state of mind „I donated, I’m a good person”.
Even if you don’t give a lot of money, you feel good.
A lot of NGOs ask for small amounts of money, to be paid via SMS – I always wondered why do people choose to only help with €2?
The reason is simple – even if you give a small amount of money, you will feel good – „I helped the society”.
You certainly did, and it’s much better to donate a small amount of money than nothing.
Still, consider doing more.
