A sudden thought. We are an extremely disgusting race. Those who are perfectly find device a standard of being "fine". Then they go around to all those who do not meet that standard and give encouragements. Give them that little bit of boost needed so they can persist in their lacking, for the entertainment of those who meet that standard. So that when those "higher" beings feel down, they can remind themselves that they are so much superior.
Isn't it cruel? When I person has lost all hope in life, when he believes that there is nothing more other than the end of the road waiting for him down at this long winding tunnel, someone comes along and comfort him. Knowing perfectly well that after this session of soothing, he'll be right back where he was. He might not be as hopeless as before but, suffering all the same. Won't it be a kindness to leave him be, to leave nature to its course. I wonder.
Why this, you may ask? Because I've seen so much pointless community outreaches. A one off, make them feel good event that do nothing but remind those who are doing it: HEY, I AM NOT IN THAT TIGHT A SPOT. To say it is a community outreach, I would rather call it a ourselves outreach. To reach out to ourselves. To feel good. Giving is merely a method.
Disgusting.
