I have a lot I need, and nearly all of my accompanying staples ie, seasonings can goods my potatoes and onions which are a semi required filler are depleted, I never seem to be able to actually get caught up on keeping my supplies at a sustainable level;

I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;

This Disabled Man Existing In Poverty, Is $2198 Away From Being Able To Afford To Take Care Of Myself And The Things I Still Need To Take Care Of This Month. Your support today could mean the difference between nourishment and starvation and some kind of stability.

This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.

"If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors." ~ Frank Sinatra (†14 May 1998)

I have a lot I need, and nearly all of my accompanying staples ie, seasonings can goods my potatoes and onions which are a semi required filler are depleted, I never seem to be able to actually get caught up on keeping my supplies at a sustainable level;

I have a cart full of #food to eat but lack the $350 to buy it, I have a cart full of personal care, hygiene, and household supplies but lack the $200 to buy it, I have a cart full of clothing that I need but lack the $400 to buy it, not to mention the rest of what I need to deal with, it is sad really, that in one of the wealthiest times in human history and in one of the wealthiest nations on earth, that anyone would be struggling with #poverty and #disability, and do so with so very little support at all, it really is sad that I have to beg for help that I most certainly never actually receive in any capacity to actually resolve the gapping growing hole of needs;

This Disabled Man Existing In Poverty, Is $2198 Away From Being Able To Afford To Take Care Of Myself And The Things I Still Need To Take Care Of This Month. Your support today could mean the difference between nourishment and starvation and some kind of stability.

This is not a request for luxury. This is a cry for dignity.

A Dutch supermarket introduced slow checkouts for lonely elderly people who want someone to talk to. The move has proven so successful that they have installed the checkouts in 200 stores.

The global kitchen is gathering its own kitchen and bakery equipment... while 80% of Gaza's population lives on charity. This is truly unfortunate. My family was one of those families who brought food from international cuisine due to the high prices of food and the lack of fuel for cooking.

This is why #intention matters. Two identical actions can have different consequences depending on the state of #mind behind them. Speaking #truth to help someone differs from speaking #truth to humiliate them. Silence can be #peaceful or cruel depending on context. #Buddhism encourages examining the roots of action. What is driving this choice? Fear? Vanity? #Compassion? Resentment? (23/54)

This spirit of inquiry is essential. #Buddhism is not blind obedience. It is not submission to doctrine. It is not worship of historical figures. It is a path of examining the causes of suffering & the ways suffering can be reduced. If a teaching leads to greed, anger, or confusion, it is unhelpful. If a teaching leads to clarity, #compassion, & #freedom, it is worth exploring. (13/54)

Wishing a peaceful and happy Wednesday. Please stay safe and sound.
