A couple of weeks prior to my birthday party people (friends and family) started asking me if I had a particular wish (for a birthday present). Well, I could easily have said things such as a particular pumpkin seed or something for patch prep or anything else, but I felt that these things (material things in general) wouldn´t make me any happier. Therefore, my wish (and everyone had a chance to make a contribution) dealt with happiness in general. My wish was to make a gift to those of us who suffer from depression. Moments of anxiety, moments of the general inability of developing any motivation for whatsoever things one usually would like to do, moments when life seems to be hell on earth and one doesn´t know why, and when things such as friendly words or some whatsoever amazing perspectives just cannot serve as motivation…if these moments become a rather permanent situation in one´s life, just because of a tiny molecule which isn´t released in one´s organism in the right amount (or consumed too fast), one might indeed be inclined to call it Hell on Earth. Therefore, a donation to a foundation which supports research and other projects in order to help people who suffer from depression is probably the best gift one could dedicate to happiness in general.
(Use of this LOGO is courtesy of “Stiftung Deutsche Depressionshilfe”, the foundation which received my birthday gift.)
Whenever you find that you are already pretty happy and you need to think twice (or even more often) when others are asking if you have a wish (for a birthday gift or something like that), you can easily find a way of making it a gift which has the power to contribute to the happiness of others.
