RE: A person who burned himself as a sign of social and economic depression, No words.

@amiramnoan This posts touched the fabric of my entirety. This posts isn't just about an individual's benevolence act, but a shared sense of altruism. Sadly we livein a society where some are really found themselves in a deep abyss, with a hovering negative weight over their heads in forms of horrible circumstances and despicable addictions. We blame them for what they are and have become and in our sense of self-righteousness convinced ourselves that we would never have fallen into such states no matter what.

Motivation and success philosophies on rampage teaches us that everybody should be accountable for themselves and we are whatever we choose to become.

At some extreme it is true.

But everyone does not have the strength of Joyce Meyer to have survived sexual abuse from her father.

Everybody does not have the strength of Oprah Winfrey to have survived the sexual torture from her blood relatives

And so on...

While we hold the truth that people are responsible for their lives, yet a nobler, greater truth we can uphold is to feel responsible, through the act of benevolence, that we can help others alter the course of their conditions and circumstances from bad to good again.

If we all move out in love and show some love to the oppressed, addicted, suppressed, and abused, life will be better.

That is why people like me gets happy when i see another do what i know should be done.

Thanks @amiramnoam for this piece, I love you!
