Recently I have tried to do this “touching grass” thing, again, and it’s difficult. Any fleeting joy of participating in this thing we call society, the moment I notice a homeless person struggling, it just evaporates. How can I enjoy participating in social events when most of them involve exchange of goods that could have been used for the purposes of helping those in need?
Do I need to donate a certain % of my income and then I get a pass? Well I don’t have an income, how much do I need to give then? Should I deduct a % of any money I get and set that aside for donations? Should I donate to local causes or international? Who gets the priority? Can I justify spending any money on things like a movie ticket to see a movie with friends, why so? What makes me more important than the person struggling on the street right next to the theater?
Are there any resources or guides you could point me towards? Is this something you’ve struggled with and found ways to cope with it? If so how have you managed?
(edit: I made an update in the comments. )
i’ve seen one other person wearing a mask in two years, it was on halloween, and i’ve seen them not masking in the same location at other times.
Idk what ur getting at here soz
A lot of organizations don’t have mask mandates. So they meet up, dozens or hundreds of people at a time. It’s no different than the church that just had a measles outbreak in Carolina, but for covid. Any comrades with compromised immune systems are thrown under the bus because “fuck intersectionality when it comes to the disabled” seems to be SOP for these orgs.
there’s nobody around me doing literally the bare minimum of not getting each other sick. there’s no structure here and if there was it would be a pox party.
Ah ok gotcha. Good luck! Nobody in my area has a mask mandate either. I mask myself at most events. Could be better I suppose.
