This is the most beautiful and it totally makes a shit ton of sense thing I’ve read.
It is horrible that people are like this.
Either humans are going backwards in some ways or humanity are tittering on a balancing pole thinking things are stable when clearly it isn’t…seriously, what is happening with us?
It’s getting way out of hand. Its like one side cant handle that the other side hs free will so theyre now trying to take free will from EVERYONE. Which is ridiculous. Im so tired of society at this point.
One of the ways they deal with “just handing out stuff” in charity like “Gospel for Asia” (this is an Indian run outreach program, started from inside the country, not outsiders) is an approach that bases aid for people off of building wealth, not just giving handouts. I mean, you can buy old-school sewing machines that don’t require electricity for someone. They’ll set up payphones, breeding pairs of chickens, rabbits, pigs. And yes, the tin for a roof can be bought, as well.
The point is that helping people needs to not be just dumping things on them, but set up so they can build off it sustainably…there are few charities that work that way.
Yes this is really important! It’s also more difficult so set something up that way, because it’s more commitement towards training that person, and understanding the needs of the locals before helping. But this is still able to help so much, because what they’re doing is providing a livelihood for these people!
This is why charity is best done form person to person, but that takes a whole nation being on the same page to work for most everyone. Last time that was done was before 70 BCE, and modern people still hate on that system for various reasons. Some of the better principles have been applied since then, just inconsistently.
I never said that. It just isn’t possible to get published anymore. I still write everyday.
You still don’t write fiction anymore do you?
I got back into it but I won’t try and publish. I just keep it to myself mostly.
I know the exact feels. I write for myself and I have ZERO intentions on publishing online or some other way.
I feel freer that way and less stressed.
Yippy Skippy!
