Toy Box
Newton’s third law of motion (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) applies. Forces come in pairs.
Can a basketball be the impetus for a cancer cure? Toss one into a United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots box. You may not see the motion but a ball in the hands of the right child, that one in forty out of ten million who makes it into professional basketball, the one who signs a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract, the one who remembers humble beginnings and a basketball dispatched in an unheated auditorium by a white-bearded man in a red suit. The same one who begins a foundation or donates millions to a cause that puts researchers over the top so that questions are answered, cures are discovered, and vicious diseases are eradicated. Anonymous hero.
It doesn’t have to be a ball. It could be a doll or its dress that leads to a designing career and fashion change around the globe. How about sets of play tools? The fruits of generosity might yield carpenters, engineers, plumbers, new housing, roads, bridges or countless other careers and/or infrastructure.
Give.
