The Character Trait

This character trait is based on a belief in true goodness and actively doing good for others, even if it means sacrificing oneself. Today’s news reports reveal that the head of a well-known charity received a one million dollar salary while his charity closed its doors. This story highlights the negative effects of stinginess. Even children can understand. One man was so greedy that others suffered while he enjoyed his life. He refused to sacrifice his own life. He closed the doors to a charity that was working for others.

Today’s news also includes a negative story about North Korean leaders sending their men to Europe for shopping sprees, even though they are starving. These shopping trips are not to buy food for his country, but to purchase luxury cars and expensive furniture as well as gold-plated weapons and other high-end items.
