Give To Get Rich?

An ad I saw: "FEED HUNGRY CHILDREN IN ISRAEL AND ENTER A SWEEPSTAKES FOR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS"

Meaning [in my words]: You are all a bunch of lousy narcissists! You can't just altruistically give money to hungry children. It is also not enough knowing that it will give you life in this world and the next [guaranteed]. That's all "spiritual" fantasy stuff. But you might win 100 thousand dollars!!

AHHHHHH - now you'll give.

Oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - how low have we sunk. [Spell check doesn't seem to like the word "Oyyy"]

The goal - Just do what is right because it's right. Drop the ego and self-enrapture for a few minutes, discard personal interest and be Godly. Money isn't everything. Give some away and it should be so sweet you'll want to give more.

PS [unrelated] - To those girls from seminary x in Yerushalyim who told their teacher to tell me that they avidly read the blog, I received the message and thank you for saying so and for your visits to our humble home at mevakesh. May Hashem fulfill all of the desires of your hearts li-tova.
