The myth of the “irrational poor” is often used to justify cutting and restricting public programs. But people on SNAP and Medicaid are anything but irrational.

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.

Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.

This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.

#extremism

To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.

#awareness

I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.

#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.

#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.

#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.

And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.

All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.

For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.

To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.

I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.

Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

I have two snowblowers. In the fall, I very responsibly had the local small engine shop do regular maintenance on both. It was expensive.

2-3 weeks ago, I grabbed the spare to show 25yo how to use one. It died after 20m. The other finished the job.

Today I went to clear another snowfall....and the second one won't start. And is leaking gas.

SOOOOOO me, Caroline and Almanzo had to shovel ~500ft of driveway by hand.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life. The life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

It should be #illegal to fire an #employee unless keeping them #employed will cause undue hardship to the #business as long as basic #human need are tied to #employment. The #boss should not be the one who decide what counts as undue #hardship.

#Knowledge is not attained without #hardship, and #wealth is not gathered without #toil. The name of the #noble cannot be earned by the #stingy, nor can one be called #brave without long and arduous #struggle. Were it not for #difficulty, all people would be leaders; for #generosity brings poverty, and relentless #ambition is a fierce battle. (From “Al-Yāqūta” by Ibn al-Jawzi)

A quotation from Josh Billings

Cheerfullness makes the plainest features butiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm tew grateness, all its own.
 
[Cheerfulness makes the plainest features beautiful, the severest winter agreeable; it elevates the lowly, and adds a charm to greatness.]

I'm seeing an increasing number of 'begging' posts on here mostly from the US. They get to me because they append a huge list of tags some of which I follow. I know US health and social care is expensive and some people are in genuine distress but how do you tell which are frauds? #hardship #healthcare #begging #BeggingEconomy

It's notable that our greatest role models are those who have overcome and endured some kind of ordeal, not those who have experienced a life of gilded pleasure. Dogged resilience is what makes us great. It's easy to see suffering as a kind of barrier to a #flourishing life. But as Frankl wrote, 'Without suffering and death, a human life cannot be called complete!”

« Hope! of all ills that men endure,
The only cheap and universal cure. »

Dear Friends of all that right (not right or left wing you muppet) with the world, 🦞

So many people have nothing #worth being disempowered by. Always the way. So find the #happy, #positive, #solutions. The #quieter, #maturity. The #experienced help, ally, direction. I do every day. It is the most #worthwhile thing I can do and #share ...

If you want to see me cry, narrate to me the story of a kid who had to deal with life-altering hardship.

Cancer stories are the hardest.

Yep, I'm crying. I watched the video I'm linking to below. I know some people will watch it and think "why the tears?" I'm crying because I've been there, and it was so bloody hard on me. I was 48 for most of my treatment. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be for younger folks, especially kids.

Charlotte had more or less the same treatment that I did. The chemo was probably done with a different agent. However, she did get a stem cell transplant (They call it bone marrow transplant in the video.) Mine was autologous. They gave me back my stem cells. Hers I think was allogeneic. From what I get of the video, her brother gave her the stem cells. The allogeneic process is much rougher on the body.

In her case, it sounds like she got the transplant when her cancer came back. In my case, they did not wait for the cancer to come back. The type of cancer that I had is pretty much guaranteed to come back if you don't do a transplant.

I've been there. It was so hard. That's why I cry when I see kids having to go through hardships like this.

Our future self: The stranger we are unable to imagine, and yet will come to be

'change is possible'

https://brainpizza.substack.com/p/our-future-self-a-stranger-we-are

We humans have a natural tendency to imagine what our futures will be like, and our imaginings about the future are very often characterized by optimism. We tend to think the lives our future selves will have as successful, happy, and fulfilled. But...

Soldiers, this #Solitude
Through which we go
Is I.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way—struggles from the outside, fears from within. 2 Corinthians 7.5 NET.

The gospel of Christ involves hardship. No one can avoid it. Not even the apostle Paulo could. Troubles are part and parcel of announcing Christ’s salvation.
