I’ll just relate my experience on Mill’s utilitarianism. My family always attends church.

We
always give money to the church every time that there will be a collection. I just don’t know if it
will be worth it or not but I didn’t mind because it is always my parents’ money. All I know is
that the money will be for the use of the maintenance and expenses of the church. But there are
times that I attend church alone and since I’m a working student, I gave my own money to the
collection. One day, I attend mass with my ex-girlfriend at Holy Rosary Parish Church after
school and the father mentioned that a foundation is out of funds and he asked this one student to
stand at the podium and explain further what happened in their foundation. She explained
everything and asked for a donation on behalf of her fellow scholars. I know the student who
asked for donations in front of many people and I know her situation, it’s just I can’t believe that
her dilemma will have to be supported by the church. In that case, it is really true that the
scholars were out of funds and the poor students are eager to ask for donations since they have
nothing else to do. I was hungry at that time and I told my ex-girlfriend that I will treat her after
we attend mass at the church. I didn’t give money to the collectors of the church. Instead, I
personally gave her my donation money. Instead of using the money just for food when I can
also eat at home, I used the money to donate for the benefit of the scholars who really need
it. I told my ex-girlfriend that I will treat her next time when I get my pay from my job. It’s not
really a dilemma for me because my ex-girlfriend knows how generous I am. I also know my ex-
girlfriend that she will not complain or do something that will put us to fight and she also
donated some of her money to them. We are matured enough to not argue such things like this.
Every time I help other people, I always get the feeling of satisfaction. There is this pleasure that
satisfies me whenever I help them. I don’t know what’s the term but what’s important is that I
helped them voluntarily and did not make any other conclusions. I don’t mind if they will return
the help that I gave to them. Every time I help other people, I also learn something from them. I
know that by helping them, they will also help other people in the future too. We are also human
too, and we may also experience the eagerness to ask for money from someone else. I find
happiness every time I help others and because of that, I am motivated to do a lot of good things
and be a better version of myself.
