Questions?

Have you ever really wanted to do something for humanity? To help someone with no strings attached and to just purely give something of worth to some else anonymously, in other words provide a pure act of kindness. Where such goodness goes sometimes trouble not only follows but attempts to be there waiting. The Devil Is a Busy Man.

A man wanted to give assistance to a couple that was experiencing a financial hardship. His one request was for the donation to remain anonymous. The male recipient had discovered who he thought the donor was. He contacted the donor and through a phone conversation had discovered he was correct. It was the donor's curiosity of how the money would be used that revealed his identity to the recipient. It was the donor's, "unconscious and seemingly, natural, automatic ability to both deceive myself and other people, which, on the 'motivational level,' not only completely emptied the generous thing I tried to do of any true value, and caused me to fail, again, in my attempts to sincerely be what someone would classify as truly a 'nice' or 'good' person"

The motivation to perform "good works" was marred by the need to know or offer advice as to what might be done with the money. The "common law" couple had a newborn baby and were bombarded with debt and medical bills. So when the male recipient called the temptation was too great not to ask questions that revealed the donor's identity. Was it a slip of thought by the donor or was it deliberately done? After all the donor had rehearsed what he might say if someone called him about the "diverged funds." If the disclosure was deliberately done then he did perform "good works" for the couple but not in the purest since of the word. Didn't the donor intentionally reveal himself? Does that then call into question his true intentions? Was he really being generous or was he trying to show himself in a good "light?" Was there really sincerity on the donor's part?
