"Well, I mostly feel like me and my family have enough. I'm in the top 80-90% income earners in the world. We have a nice family, nice house, nice cars, nice schools, nice fence, and that whole deal. That's why almost all of my SP remains delegated to projects to help others. We're ok, but other people aren't. I have the sense that all our souls are linked on this planet, and I'm using my time, energy, and resources to help others. That can be incredibly rewarding. I helped a mom and her kid eat. I kept another similar pair from getting evicted. I've taught peace over and over to those that display violence. I feel like I'm changing the world one person at a time.
All of which is for me personally to answer the question I fear my kids will one day ask "Dad, you knew about how fucked up the world is? What did you do about it?" I'm terrified my answer and the world I leave behind for them won't be good enough compared to how much I love them and how much they deserve a better place than this. So, I'm here. I've staked my claim on some digital real estate. I'm in there daily trying to make change."
I'm on vacation yet I took some time to read your post as I knew it has some value and that was filled with words I could learn from.
This part gave me goosebumps. I called my girlfriend and read it to her again.
I'm still a young guy, trying to build up for my future family. I'm scared of raising a child. I'm scared of my girl giving birth to him/her. I sometimes think it is fucking egoistic to give birth to a child in this fucked up world. Yet there's a chance for a healty, free and happy life and that also depends on us. Life is the rarest thing a person can achieve. I will have a child, maybe more than one and will do my best to answer proudly the question: "Dad, you knew how fucked up the world is. What did you do about it?"
