...Can't seem to get this craziness out of my head! Was in here yapping with the wife and I thought back to when I had to fly out to Kornyfornia to help Dad with his cancer stuff. Met some woman while there (I think from or-EE-gun) who had first told me about this GoFundMe stuff. Even though Dad was in trouble with cancer, I still couldn't help but wonder...."Isn't that wrong?" Don't get me wrong - not trying to push my views on anyone else here or anywhere else, but honestly, isn't that just like panhandling? Only, with a specified purpose? And being online, how do you know if the hard-luck story you hear about is actually real?
I've met an awful lot of very wonderful people in over 1/2 a century and have come to the same conclusion to what I was taught growing up - that hard times only makes us stronger. Yes, many will fold under pressure and take the easy way out, and some actually don't have much other choice but to beg or die. I understand that. But when you go out asking nameless, faceless people for money so that you can make YOUR life better......sorry, but that just makes the blood start a-boiling, ya' know?
There once was a time when people looked to friends and family, and were firstly expected to tighten the belt a few notches.....just like everyone else was doing. I just don't understand this mentality of getting FREE money to do with whatever you please. Come hell or high water, you'll never catch me out there begging for money like that! ...But then I'm pretty set in my ways and don't wanna change. :wink:
