【正确答案】Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?
Different people hold different views about whether or not one should expect a reward when doing a good deed. Some argue that one should be given a certain reward for his good deeds, while others have different viewpoint. From my point of view, one should regard Leifeng as a model and should not expect any reward.
The following reasons can support my view. Firstly, in my opinion, doing a good deed should be based on people's individual consciousness of responsibility, and hence little significance should be attached to monetary reward. Secondly, if you expect a reward when providing others with help, maybe when you are in trouble but couldn't give any reward, nobody will help you. Thirdly, one can enjoy happiness and peace through what they have done, I think, which is the best return.
Considering the above-mentioned, I think it imperative for us to conduct good deeds without expecting any reward. I suggest that people's awareness should be cultivated that conducting good deeds is extremely meaningful to our lives. Everyone should keep it in mind that we do good deeds for enjoyment, self-fulfillment and spiritual enhancement, not for the rewards.
