Alright world... I get it, maybe more than you think I do.

There's like a billion things I should do that you preach about, but I don't really care... If it doesn't directly affect me then how I am supposed to care? Do you just want me to fake it? (I've realized that most of the world is actually pretty happy with me when I fake my emotions/reactions/whatever in their favor, but I can't stand doing it) I can care about somethings like global warming and maybe like not burning shit that puts bad stuff in the air or trying to recycle more(which is pretty easy if I just throw it all in the big ass blue bin like I am supposed to) because I can see how the effects might affect me in a very measurable way in my lifetime, but damn... what the hell do I do in some of these other things you preach about like human trafficking? I can't do anything about that that is reasonable. I refuse to give money to people I know nothing about. It doesn't make me feel better. If anything, it makes me feel worse because I don't feel any rewards from it and I don't get to use that money for my own pleasure. Maybe if you're some person of faith then you feel better about it because you think your deity is going to give you a better spot in heaven or whatever, but I can't realistically say that I feel better giving hundreds/thousands of dollars to people I don't know.

So, world, I guess what I am trying to say is: stop trying to act like I don't understand the situation or that I can't understand the seriousness, because I do more than you know... It's just, at this time, I don't care.

?

(I'd post the :hmmm: smilie but I don't remember its abbreviation and suddenly all the forum functions have disappeared on me)
 
Cool story bro.

Seriously though, why are you posting this? If other people give a shit about these things then so what?

You don't have to know a human trafficking victim personally to know something about them. :?

I understand the situation, the topic, the subject, but I don't know the people personally.

Jesus... So, I understand the situation of human trafficking, I understand the topic of human trafficking, I understand the subject of human trafficking... but I don't KNOW the people. I can watch a video of this one person telling their life experience possibly, or some shit like that... but that's not invoking enough for me. I need to know the person in-person.

It's not enough that they give a shit, but they insist that I give a shit too.

I wish I could just kinda do some god damn star trek Vulcan mind-meld shit or something so they could just understand all the shit I have to say before they understand without me having to go on for hours before they go, "oh... I get it now. I can see what you meant by that having to take hours to say, because it really does. No other way to say it."

I can't say that I've ever been bothered about other people giving a shit about various global charities and good will causes. I agree with a lot / most but there certainly are some that don't interest me at all. But I've never been upset by anyone who had an interest in something of this sort. Even if they hit me up for money or to sign up for something it's not like I'm going to be bothered by it. Why does it bother you!?

Vulcan mind-meld bro. Vulcan mind-meld... If only we humans had it, there would be so much more understanding.
