If I had to tell you
About it all
Then it wasn’t really worth it
When I didn’t sleep
Or if I did
With one eye open
Barely breathing
Waiting on
That phone to ring
Because before
I left
The point was other people’s happiness
And I would
Tell you
About my time back then
But that
Would make it
Not really worth it
Would it?

A well-crafted example of that paradox. It's not exactly an ethical paradox. Nothing unethical about getting credit when credit is due.
I am seldom brave enough, self-sacrificing enough, to make my charitable donations anonymous.
