Donation

Not long ago I was faced with two envelope. One was for a friend whose family member just passed away and the other was for lower level staffs' THR. There were also a list of name and the amount of donation. Well... I was indeed intrigued. I was stunned for a moment. But then I opened my wallet and take out smaller bill for the mourning friend and two bigger bills for the celebrating staffs. Why would I do that??
Because I simply believe that the staffs could use the money much better than the mourning friend.

Just now the coordinating friend called and offered to return my donation. She wanted to publish the donation list for transparancy purpose. She obviously thought that my donation was too small. Maybe she thought that I would be embarrassed with my small donation.

Should I be embarrassed?

For the record... I usually spend that much for my meal. Maybe later I will be embarrassed for what I eat.
