The True Essence of Giving

Last night, the Chinese evening paper featured a rich businessman who donated S$240,000 to the flood victims of the recent tragedy in the Philippines.  What touched my heart is the fact that the businessman remained anonymous.  He showed us the true essence of giving.  He did not need any recognition or acknowledgement. He did not demand for his name to be plastered on the wall of a building or an institution. He gave from his heart.  This is an act of kindness that leaves a lasting impression. The nameless and the faceless truly know the meaning of giving.
