I'm creating a monopoly style game that allows people to "win" in any of these 3 areas:
- capitalism (traditional monopoly)
- karma giving
- Giving with no expectation of return
I'm having trouble coming up with an appropriate term for that last one… something appealing, and suitable for a persons private scorecard.
The idea that I want to convey is that there are 3 different ways to play the game… and you can switch from one mode to the other at any time. The last goal is similar to being an anonymous donor to a charity, or a giving to a homeless person without any fanfare.
Question
I looked at the word Karma, and in doing so I found this critique of the word:
Karma alone is a dumb reason to do something for someone else
What is a better word for karma giving without expectation?
Best Answer
Philanthropy is giving for the sake of giving. Not for some reward in heaven or hope of a better reincarnation. It fits with the context of the tycoons you play in monopoly.
