Jim Carrey once shared a thought that hits deep. He said:
“Imagine you’re struggling — maybe homeless, hungry — and someone comes to help you, but first they pull out a camera. They film your face, your pain, just to show they’re being ‘kind.’ Please stop doing that. If you’re going to help someone, do it with kindness, not with your ego.”
Even if those exact words can’t be fully traced back to Carrey, the message is powerful — and true.
Imagine That Moment

Imagine That Moment
Picture yourself in that situation. You’re tired, maybe scared, just trying to make it through another day. Then someone walks up, recording every second. They hand you a meal, but it’s not about you — it’s about them.
Their phone camera becomes the main focus, and your hardship becomes content.
You take the food, because you have to. But deep down, it hurts. It feels like your pain is being used for attention.
The Problem with “Performative” Kindness
In today’s world, it’s easy to post everything online — even acts of charity. But when giving turns into a show, it loses its heart
