RE: The helping hand

in Reflections2 years ago

I've read a little and two, I get it.

I don't help in a wholesale, I'm not a do-gooder (more a bad man...or just a man whose done bad things) and while I like helping others I don't subscribe to the help everyone thing as some people don't deserve it or help rendered may inhibit their own progress moving forward. The old teach a man to fish thing I guess.

Just on cookie missions...I've been in the wars bro, deployed, operated and got fucken caught and achieved mission success in equal measure; failure never deterred me (neither did punishments) so yeah, I've liberated many cookies, and eaten them. 🤣

Sort:  

The leftists here have a saying, 'solidarity not charity', basically help others to help themselves, which I think is where you and I are at too. Bad man or just a skill set that makes people uncomfortable?

Ha, I hear ya 😂 I've had similar experiences with success and failure (and punishments), albeit in a context that was a bit lacking in the heavier ordnance. Failure and punishment were just motivation to perform better the next time, or at least not get caught :D

I help people who help themselves and also to help them help themselves. I'm not the guy who rewards a lack of effort, so yeah I think we are on the same rifle range there.

Bad man or just a skill set that makes people uncomfortable?

This made me smile...and I'll decline to clarify. 😇😂
