Do Motives Always Matter?

From Crack on!! the make it happen people 

One of the things philosophers like to argue about is whether there can be such a thing as a totally selfless act.

In other words, do we ever do something for someone else with no thought of reward?  The argument goes that, because doing something generous makes us feel good inside - even if we don't get any other kind of reward or thanks - that makes every selfless act a selfish one.

Maybe...

I say it doesn't matter. We can leave the philosophy to one side and forget for now about people's ulterior motives. When people are doing something that helps other people in some way, without doing harm to anyone else, that has to be a good thing.

That's why so many people have been so inspired by Crack on, and especially at this time of year when the Crack on Christmas Food Appeal is just starting.

This year, Crack on wants to feed 5000 people. Last year we aimed to feed 500 and beat that target easily. The year before... Crack on didn't even exist.

So, don't even think about why you should donate or help collect food for Crack on this Christmas, don't worry about why it makes you feel good or whether it's just a bit selfish to enjoy putting smiles on 5000 strangers' faces...

If it feels good, in this case, it just is.

So, donate, collect, publicise and pester - and enjoy it - it's all in a fantastic cause.

Crack on!!

Moving Quickly On...

Hello again

We've just moved house (at rather short notice, hence the headline) which means, since we work from home, that we've also moved office.

Our new address is:

2 Chichester Close
Bury St Edmunds
IP33 2LZ

And our new phone number: 01284 767193.


After such a quick move there was a lot of sorting out and decluttering to do. We have to thank Mark Byford and Gary Spencer of Crack on!! who supplied the van and heavy lifting on the day (seven trips!) and so it was easy to decide where all our surplus stuff would go. Mark has already been back twice with the Crack on!! van to collect for their new warehouse/shop in Thetford. 

But we (that's Cinnamon Edge) are back into the swing of things, we've almost stopped tripping over boxes, and we're ready to help you with your business' marketing just as soon as you want to call the new number!

That's 01284 767 193.

Roy
