I do my best to stay above it all …seeing the chaos of the manipulated system around me . however, I have to admit I have allowed myself to be emotionally manipulated by the signs of human suffering. What do I mean?
In the middle of my day as I navigate through an affluent area in Southern California, I’ll come to a stoplight or freeway exit and I’ll see a young mother with two infant children with a sign asking for money for food or rent or something else . She’s holding a handful of flowers to trade for the donation …I know that I can’t solve their problem, but I can’t not acknowledge that they are suffering …so I give an inappropriately large Donation and speed away denying I made any significant contribution to to alleviate their suffering.
However, this scene has been repeated more and more, and I’m now convinced it’s a scam that is taken from “ Slumdog millionaire” where these women & children are used as props to jolt you into Sympathy as a means of grifting.
Only the escalating Fiat manipulation makes this horrible experience common place . #bitcoin changes this
