Charity, not ego-boost

If it is in your power, do something nice for a fellow human being.

Something *they’d* think is nice, not an imposition you force on them out of your own moral or social code. This might require actually paying attention or even – gasp! – asking them how you can really help.

Do that thing.

Then don’t talk about it.

You’ll know. They might know. The rest of the world probably doesn’t need to.
