Donating feels so good
I just donated to the Malaria Consortium, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to treating children with malaria and preventing such cases in many more children. To be specific, I have donated $7.21 through GiveWell, a website that is very transparent about the best charities to donate to (they even list their own mistakes!).
The reason I did this was simply because I felt generous. As a matter of fact, I felt good today. Although there were some difficult moments for me, particularly in the afternoon, I still came back home from work feeling better than ever.
I normally don't donate to charities. However, I wanted to give to people who were less fortunate than me. It just came into my mind without any expectation. After I donated and saved the receipt as a PDF file, I felt even better. That’s why I am not motivated to write this post about that experience.
EDIT: I just donated about four dollars to the Not By AI movement. That made me feel even better today, and I have a badge on my homepage to show my support for content created by humans!
