Is charity hypocrisy?

Today I came across a dialog of a young couple who talked about charity. Joe put money in a tin for charity for cancer research and Ann got angry and said "Stupid! Rubbish!" What she wants to say is that helping others is a task of the government and we pay tax for it or that he gave money just because he didn't want to appear mean or that he was just embarrassed to refuse the donation, so he did it just because of his cowardice! Oh, who is Ann??? Take it easy. She is the one who is jealous of other's good deeds, I guess. Nowadays I make it a rule to stop and give 100yen(about $1) if asked for donation. Just $1 is not that much, isn't it?

Well, if she would find fault with other' good deeds, I will accept her insistence. Yes, to tell the truth, it is for my sake that I give donation. Yes, I am, I am just a selfish man. What a selfish Amiyan! Buddha has taught me cause and effect principle (as a man sows, so shall he reap), any deed has reward. That is, if you ignore and pass through when someone asks you donation in a loud voice,"Donation please," someday will come when you are in trouble and ask in a loud voice,"Help me! please!"and everybody will ignore and pass you through. I'm afraid of that, so I do it from now. Just $1 per a deed, it pays, doesn't it? If give, given. If not give, not given. That's all. Moreover good deeds, that is love, will be payed not as much, but twice as much as, ten times, hundred times, maybe million times as much. There is no good news like this. It pays well, profitable, lucrative, going and gainful. "Too much for that," you will say. So $1 of love is not just $1. Therefore giving donation is for my sake after all, I admit.

UNSELFISHNESS⇒SELFISHNESS

But the reverse is not always true. That's the secret of love. So God preaches us love. Love is going to be really for our sake after all.
