The best donation

 Which is the best donation? The one that involves no expectations of return gifts, right? Any other quality of a wonderful donation? It is performed without much publicity, is not it?

Traditionally, the best donation is supposed to be imparting education, knowledge, wisdom because this gift is the best. It grows when shared. It never pales nor dulls. It enriches both, the donor and the donee.

In the contemporary times, yet another such donation is organ donation as well as donation of one's body after death. In my opinion, both are indeed great. Donating blood, for example, can save a precious life. 

A kidney donation saves the patient/receiver a lifetime of dialysis and an eternity of pain, for example. Much more interesting is the organ donation post death.

The eyes can help a visually impaired person. The skin can be the ideal draft for a patient with burns, for instance. The kidney, the heart curated and donated as early as possible after death, can change another life.

Much more interesting is the fact that such donations allow a second lease of life for the donor. The donor continues  to live even after death. The donated eyes, to give an easily understood example, continue to look at the world even when the donor is dead. The importance of the heart, too, is but obvious.

In brief, on this organ donation day, hope many would resolve  to undertake this THE best donation. Very many lives are thus going to change for ever. The egg or sperm donation, for instance, can fulfil not only individuals but a family! Long live organ donation of every sort.
