Nature has awarded us with such a great tool called conscience. It generates positive and negative signals for the actions you perform.
When you:
- Buy food for the hungry with sincerity
- Give some money to an orphan with love
- Pay the education fee for a poor student
- Give some money to a free services hospital
Your conscience sends you a thank you signal and you feel good about yourself, which gives birth to your 'inner' satisfaction.
It is said that you don't really achieve deep happiness by spending on yourself; you get it when you spend on others! You achieve an even greater degree of contentment when you spare your time from your busy life, visit orphans or widows, hospitals, and other deserving people in society, and then spend your money on them.
From a religious perspective, I believe that almost all religions have defined the principle of spending on humanity in order to get tranquility, serenity, and prosperity. However, we the unfortunate people, the materialistic minds, keep calculating our money and assets several times a day, which increases our greed level and eventually deprives us of peace of mind. It won't be wrong to say that our extreme love for money and being materialistic is the real killer of our happiness. To cope with this, wise people highly recommend allocating a little portion (5% of your earnings) for genuine causes.
While the conscience claps for our good acts, it must generate red signals for our bad acts too. And if that is not happening, then something is seriously wrong in our roots of faith. Considering the fact that a clean and active conscience is the best pillow, we must empower it with more positive acts as well as with daily self-audits when our head is on the pillow at the end of each day.
