Those Who Donate a lot are Happier Than Those Who Donate a Little

Hmmm... I love positive news, so sometimes it's hard for me to put on my cynical hat... it just really doesn't look good with these glasses and shoes!  But I did find myself thinking "Isn't THAT convenient" to a post on a website about fundraising for non-profit groups that indicates that giving more means the donator will be happier than those who donated a little or nothing at all.

Yet still, it is the first study of its kind, and it will be nice to see what the real life enriching benefits of giving are.  Is there anything about HOW we give that makes a difference, for example.
