Life in Balance and Credit

Last time I was speaking about celebrities and charity. I said that some of them took part in charity events only to show off. But I must admit that there are many who really care and participate in charity from the heart. Many do donate huge sums of money to different Relief Funds. And it made me think, what have I ever done? And the answer is nothing! I know it is awful. And now I shame that I blamed celebrities for being insincere. I do nothing myself. But the problem is I can’t afford myself to donate a big sum of money. And to donate a few bucks always seems  me to be useless.

But I have recently heard about special credit cards that are aimed to help different Relief Funds. These cards work as usual credit cards with rewards,  but instead of bonus points or cash back you earn points to donate. The thing is every time you make your usual purchases on the credit card you donate some money to a charity organization. These credit cards don’t oblige you to anything. Just use your credit card in the way you’re used to and you will help other people at the same time. Great isn’t it? Now I am going to find out what issuing companies offer such credit cards and apply for one. I think it is a good idea!

Today it has become a kind of fashion for celebrities and people of the world to participate in charity events. Why I think it is just a fashion? Look at the celebrities. I think there are little who really care. Often when I see as one of them takes part in a charity event, I wonder whether it is just PR. Well, I don’t want to say that all of them are insincere and hypocritical but some are, for sure. I just look at them and I don’t believe them, I don’t believe they do it from the heart. Of course, participating in charities, celebrities attract public attention to some event. But think, maybe they do it just in order to attract more paparazzi who are hunting for a sensation. Well, maybe I am wrong and everything is not so bad, as I see it.
