Life & Death Haikus: Selfish Help (Original Poem)
Aid without boasting
Share love without reminders
Agenda-free gifts...
It doesn't matter who you have helped, where you helped them, or how much you helped them. Just help to help and let others have the chance to speak of your deeds instead of you boosting your own ego by overexplaining to what lengths you were willing to go to make something happen for someone in need. It's okay to be a role model and explain a certain instance in which you helped someone to convey a message, but just for the sole sake of letting people know that you do "good deeds" does not validate your intentions which may or may not be in other's best interest as opposed to your own self-agendas and elevation in society.
"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,"
(King James Version Bible - Book 1 Corinthians: Chapter: 13 Verse: 4)
Regarding Jesus Christ, Our Lord & Saviour)
15 "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
(King James Version Bible - Book John: Chapter 3: Verse: 15-21)

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
Very true. Giving should be done with all selflessness and freely without expecting anything and one must never speak, brag or boast of any deed done. Furthermore one should give or render a deed without informing another party. Even the bible states in Mathew 6 verse 3 that "when you do a charitable deed, do not let your right hand know of it". May His grace be sufficient.
