A different kind of dinner-for-two

I took the day off. After attending to a few emails and just before leaving the office this morning, I went to the plastic donation box that the guys had set up the day before to collect money for the China and Myanmar disaster victims. I dropped in my money, an amount that was the price of a candlelight dinner for two in a fancy restaurant, and walked away wondering whether my gesture of charity was done more for the sake of the victims or more for the sake of myself; my selfish act of attempting to bribe my way to a place in heaven?
