One day my colleague ask me to give him RM10 as donation for his church thing. So I handed him Rm10... After one weekend, he told me he had got something for me in return, I was wondering how come donation got something in return one? My colleague gave me an Elk or reindeer or errr.... dunno what is that, forgot the name, I think it was 'Ok' or 'Cute' in a way. So I brought it back home and give it to my little niece, but then her mother (my sis) complain that the fur of this doll will come out easily. At the end, the charity gift was donated to orphan house...Wednesday, October 14, 2009
Gift from Charity

Donated a defective unwanted item to orphan house, you feel comfortable about that? Do you have joy after the donation?
No pain and no joy either. It would be a waste and it will do more damage if the item is dumped into the garbage bin if is looks like a new toy. Let me ask you back, if you don't like to eat cake, will you rather dump the unwanted item (the cake) into dumpster or give away the unwanted item to someone that is hungry or love to eat cake. Do you feel any joy with your give away/donation?
The fur of the doll came out easily as you mentioned, so you didn't like it (messy, chocking hazard etc.), and you "donated" the item together with the problem. Regarding your question, if you donate some uneaten cakes as you don't want, i would said go ahead, you are accumulating virtue, but if you are donating a cake full of your saliva, or partly eaten by someone, or maybe expired, do you think it's appropriate?
To me, the fur is ok. Actually for dolls with long fur, it will come out easily compare to the doll with shorter fur. Same things apply to a real pet. If like what you said, then I need to trace back to the person who gave me this thing right? Why at the first place they want to give away 'junks' (to me it is not a junk) to the donor who at the first place doesn't expect anything in return?
Back to your cake question, what if the cake taste horrible for the person who receives it? But I don't even know it taste bad at the first place? To me, I might find the cake okay but to some people it taste bad? I think the key point is, different people have different expectation on stuff, you might donate an unwanted old and dirty car that break down frequently which you perceives as junk,but to some people who need a car and can't afford it, the car is very valuable that can take him to anywhere which is not far, despite it might brake down sometimes. To him, the car is a great stuff. But to the person who donated it, perhaps he should send the car to junk yard rather donating it? Or else some environmentalist will say the car pollutes the air which is not 'appropriate' at the first place? And some people might ask you why you donate something you don't want to others? Or may be we should ask those people stop donating pennies or five cents which they don't want? 'Donate a hundred dollar bill, keep your unwanted pennies and five cents in your pocket!'
