Charity with Publicity !

I have been raised with thoughts that, True #charity should stem from genuine #compassion and a desire to help others, rather than from a desire for personal gain or #popularity.
I was surprised to see a grand cultural event in a posh residential society with extravagant showcases with lavish decorations, wearing specially designed outfits, and posting pictures of the event. This was appreciated as an effort to retain India Culture. Recently, a Voter ID registration drive was conducted by hashtag#Gen X of the same society with specially #designedTshirts, #Banners, hashtag#Standees, #Photoshoots, and #pressreleases
.
What kind of bench-marking is our #GenX setting for #FutureGenerations? Looks like #GenZ can influence Gen X for #publicity and #showcasing.
When charity is performed with the primary intention of gaining popularity or enhancing one’s image, it can diminish the authenticity and sincerity of the act.
The essence of charity lies in #selflessness and #empathy, where the focus is on addressing the needs of others without expecting anything in return. It’s about #positively impacting the #lives of those in need and contributing to the well-being of society as a whole.

It’s understandable why showcasing charity or cultural work might be seen as problematic, if it’s done solely to set a benchmark or influence others. When acts of charity or cultural contributions are flaunted merely for the sake of #gaining #recognition or setting a standard for others to follow, it can create a skewed perception of what genuine altruism and cultural engagement should look like.
