Do you think that philanthropy is a good thing ?
or people who are philanthropics they just like to act that they are super nice and they want to gain attention.
Give me your opinion , because I like to be a philanthropic but I am worried that many people will think I am doing that to Show off …
In addition, do you agree or disagree that the philanthropy is a good qualitiy that we are starting to lose it over time.

Philanthropy is a good thing if it is anonymous. If it is genuinely done to help people, there will be just as much satisfaction in it if no one knows where the donations came from. And no, we are not starting to lose it over time. Maybe you are young, at the age when adolescents are very self-conscious and ego-absorbed. If so, you will grow out of it.
