To one whom much is given much is expected.
Chief among those expectations is that one prevent their Ego from making pain for others.
One should endeavor to alleviate Suffering
And Gift Joy unto their fellow man
is this a jab at Ronaldo?
'given'? or earned?
CRISTIANO RONALDO: The amazing charity work of Real Madrid's superstar
Ronaldo raised funds for the reconstruction of Aceh, Indonesia following the 2004 earthquake and tsunami, donated the payout he received from a libel case to a charity in his home city of Madeira and has been involved in a number of other organisations on the Portuguese island and in other areas of this vast land.
Two of the most heart-warming acts performed by the FIFA Ballon d'Or winner has been to help the lives of two young boys battling life-threatening conditions.
Earlier in 2014, Ronaldo was contacted by the parents of a 10-month old Spanish boy named Erik Ortiz Cruz who required a brain operation in order to save his life.
Erik's parents only asked for the former Manchester United ace to donate a football shirt and boots to a charity auction to raise funds for the surgery but he went one step further and told them he would pay for the procedure and accompanying treatment.
Ronaldo paid for the entire £50,000 operation and also copped the bill for further management of the youngster's situation which cost £5,000 per session.
At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Ronaldo was seen sporting a zig-zag style haircut which also attracted negative criticism from many. Little did they know the gesture was to honour Erik who came out of his surgery with similar scars on the right side of his head.
The man never calls for his charity work to be in the public eye.
In 2012, he sold the Golden Boot he won in 2011 for €1.5million to donate the funds to Palestinian school children in Gaza and is also involved in FIFA's '11 for Health' which aims to raise awareness to children regarding drug addiction, HIV and obesity.
The ex-Sporting Lisbon young gun also sticks true to his word as evidenced when mentioning a group of leukemia patients during his acceptance speech for the 2013 Ballon d'Or award after promising to do so.
To top it all off, the Portugal captain donated £100,000 to the hospital in Madeira that saved his mother's life in 2009 which led to the development of a cancer centre in the archipelago.
The CR7-detractors will forever continue to call him out for his sporadic petulance, the fact he may not be as good as Lionel Messi or his penchant to attract all the attention ahead of his teammates, but in my opinion, there is no denying the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo doubles as a world-class footballer and more importantly, a world-class human being.
