I am an Organ Donor

Giving is an artistic representation of perfect rhetorics. It involves the ethos, pathos and logos of life.

We can easily give away old material items that we no longer need or want to other people. There are millions of cash donors, food donors, clothes donors and many other items donors, but there are a few types of rare donations that not many people know about or simply does not know how to do it.

The Gift of Wealth

Material gifts are easy. You may pool money together with some friends or family, or you may also do it alone. A lot of companies are also doing a lot of such monetary donations when it comes to the time for Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) programmes especially for corporate image enhancements.

As an individual, you may also put in your loose change into the charity boxes that you see at the fastfood counters or other places. It is visible. You can see it. The reminders are everywhere. This one is easy to do.

The Gift of Knowledge

The gift of knowledge is alightly more complicated than the gift of wealth. Some think of sponsoring a child's education as the gift of knowledge, but that gift is elementary.

The masterclass of gift of knowledge is when your actions and words becomes an example to others. They always say, lead by example. They also say, do as you preach.

This is not easy to do and it is important because such a masterclass gift is going to require a lot of patience. This is usually going to be habit forming, as it will influence the change of mindset in others. Your example will lead them to understand the good that you have always been doing and continuously do will bring tremendous benefits to others and yourself. By then, you need not advertise your own wisdom, yet your fame spreads far and wide with your name as a true guru of a person leading a successful life.

The Gift Of Life

The first thought about this is usually blood donations. This gift you need to give while alive. Another gift of life that is so often cited is by being a vegetarian with a pledge not to kill. Some people work on petitions to lawmakers to ban the killing of animals, and some parties go as far as to manipulate the term "Gift of Life" or anything similar for commercial benefits.

The best gift of life while living is not killing. But you may also, while alive, prepare for the extension of the gift of life to the afterlife. You can always register yourself as an organ donor.

Organ Donation

The immediate benefits of being an organ donor is in the thought that your parts will still live on even after your body is lifeless. Giving away what you can no longer use certainly makes dying feels so much easier. There is nothing more worthy than one single body being benefited by 8 other bodies! Yes, being an organ donor means that you give a 2nd chance to life to 8 other people who are the recipients of your body parts. They become your biggest beneficiaries, and they are so much more closer to you than your children who inherit your money.

By being an organ donor, you are also able to do your part to curb the illegal organ trafficking activities worldwide. There are so much of such illegal activities that sometimes one starts to wonder why do people lead a lifestyle to damage their own organs in the first place. Those who are born with organ defects are not a disgrace, but there are so many of those who adopt some really bad habits to cause the damage of organs.

This is not a difficult decision to make. Usually when we are dead, we have no use for these parts. These parts turn to ashes upon cremation, but in the past, the organs were intentionally removed for embalming and mummification. Might as well remove them and give them away once we are dead to benefit other people.

Why not?
