A bit of a rant I guess
5 months ago
Just something I wanted to put on paper and upload somewhere. Something to just put out there... something to toss it into the void, "get off my chest", or however you wanna put it.
It just... So many people (especially as of late I feel) post stuff like "Emergency commissions/please help", asking for financial aid, and you want to help out but then you find it impossible to choose just one, "If I help this one, I should help this one too. I want to be fair in my approach and treat people equally", and want to help all of them, but you literally can't...
Not to mention that you don't even know just how much your money would actually help, would it be more of a fishing rod for them, or just a tiny fish?
And you have no idea who has financial problems simply because of their own fault, (and I could plenty of random examples here but what's the point), and who is doing all they can but still need help to make ends meet.
And btw, let me get this straight:
-There is no shame in asking for help if we need it, especially if we offer it to others when we can help.
-Really not meaning to hate on anyone here, 0 hate. Not pointing at anyone either. I'm just saying that you just don't know who CAN do something about their situation but isn't, and who CAN'T and is doing all they can as it is...
...And it sure isn't making it any easier to offer financial aid, especially when your own funds are quite limited, and you want to have some savings of your own for a financial safety-blanket. On one hand you want to help, but you find it impossible to choose, and financial-help you can provide is very limited, not to mention your currency having a poor conversion to the one others use, and you spending a 100 would mean 20 bucks or so for them, making it even harder to potentially help more people than one.
You just don't know who has what kind of situation... and if you make a quick search with a particular tag, won't need to spend even 5 minutes of browsing certain sites to find dozens if not hundreds of those cases.
...I'll shut up now. Probably no one will read it, probably no one will leave a reply here, whatever I guess. I wish You a blessed day, and sorry for the rambling.
