Not really. I have always felt inches away from being a charity case and we have done a rediculous level of personal austerity. My father in law even said we were to cautious but our lives have proved again and again that is not so. I mean I have in the past but most of what I do is opportunity driven. I used to have a do I could walk off leash so I would carry a poop grabber and bucket and I would pick up other garbage along the way. My neighbors and I grab each others mail. Put carts away that are carelessly left in the grocery lot. It blows my mind sometimes now only the littel things people don’t do but the little bad things they do and both would not inconvenience them much at all. Someone who goes and serves food in a soup kitchen every week but won’t use their turn signal is like. what. I sorta get annoyed with charity. Like it should not be necessary. We should be collecting taxes and employing people and fixing most things on a societal level. So like I want to live in a progressive social democracy where the average person is low enough stress that they treat themselves and their fellow citizens and environment with respect and will take some marginal effort to fix things spur of the moment that crop up.
Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world, people are often hypocrites, or try to offset the bad things they do with some surface level good, or just don’t care. But even then, I feel like anything that makes it just a little less cruel is a good thing, so thank you for doing what you can.
oh yeah. im sorry if I sounded like I was crapping on volunteering. As I said I have done some and I realize there is niche things that I don’t expect society to cover. Like I volunteered for many bike related things. Stuff like soup kitches and nature cleanups its like. You know we should collect taxes and these should be paid jobs. Like how is it ok this is necessary like that.
