It seems that more and more holiday party hosts are expecting their guests to make a donation to a specific charity. what do you think about this philanthropic trend??...I personly think I shouldn't have to fund someone's pet charity just to get free drinks.
Exactly. The emotional loading of guilt is not why we give. We shouldn't feel coerced into giving because it stains the joy. The false sense of elation we feel after the pressure of release flies with the dollar irks me no end.
