@wolfwoman was speaking just the other day how a church she knows is getting resistance for trying to help homeless folks.
@NiveusLepus @wolfwoman I love how Reagan and the Republicans told us that we shouldn't have government social welfare programs, because churches and community groups could step up and care for people.
But when someone _does_ try to help, they get sued and fined and arrested.
What. The. Fuck.
Why do we allow this?
Why do we not stand up and stop this bullshit?
@AskTheDevil @wolfwoman I wonder the same thing. There is enough, especially if the humans weren’t so intent on killing each other, then there would be more than enough.
But I don’t know how to get them all there, but I’ll continue doing my level best to make the parts of the world I touch better.
@NiveusLepus @AskTheDevil
Some speaker once said (paraphrasing, it was long ago), "We all have a 3' circle around us all the time. So I focus on doing what I can to improve my little circle, everywhere I go." Words to live by and I know you have a bigger circle, dear Becca.
@wolfwoman @AskTheDevil That’s very kind. The one thing I know is that it’s all unnecessary, and even thought I might not be able to fix it, I can still do something about it.
@NiveusLepus I believe that was her point. Others have said similar and I always find inspiration to keep doing what I can. BTW, she had us illustrate the point by having us stand, stretch one arm out, and notice that it was more or less 3', then turn slowly in a circle. Effective speaker.
@wolfwoman Highly effective!
@NiveusLepus @wolfwoman I like how you put that:
"even though I might not be able to fix it, I can still do something about it"
