Thanks for the shoutout @clayboyn! I appreciate it.
Well said. Expecting something from another is a pitfall IMO. Even if the situation is beneficial, if it's not to expectations, it could turn toxic. Being able to erase that expectation, being that the intentions are altruistic, is key IMO.
When that post was written, I was trying to rationalize charity organizations and the donors to them. The organization profits and grows (self interests) and also uses funds and manpower to aid those in need. What if the organization fell?
Also, the donors. Call/write/email and wire some money. All in a good day and maybe a nice sticker to show for it.
You brought it to a human perspective, which I wasn't considering, but is very valid. To this I do agree. The entitlements some folks deem appropriate for a kind action or aid seems prevalent. I think it's tied to the ego and the false societies that help shape them.
I've had my fair share of falling outs with charitable organizations over things. I wont assume I'm right, but I know it felt right walking away from them if I didn't feel they lived up to their own missions. Society as a whole needs new examples to change and it's up to everyone to be that change. Thanks for the awesome topic and I wish you much success on steemit.
Hands in and hands on! People to people and being that change is ideal.
Again, thanks for the well wishes and take conversation.
