"The best recreation is to do good."

I agree, and what this means is when you do good you feel good. With this statement, I believe doing things like volunteering and giving to those in need would be great recreation. However, not everyone is going to agree on what is good and what isn't. Like playing music, if you are doing it for fun some will see it as a waste of a talent, but if you play for the needy you'll look good. I think the best "do-good" activity that one can partake in is being involved in the community.
