RE: The Charity Donation Challenge - Day 1 (Kiva.org)
So you do have a heart and not just a sarcastic little shit lol. I like your writing style and that is why I chose to follow you.
This is a great idea and wished more people would follow suit. I came from a poorish background and maybe that is why I think like I do. You appreciate life and things more. I also give but it is so an old couple can have a hot meal every night. Small I know but at least they have that one meal a day. I am sure that lady in Vietnam will appreciate water. Thanks for the post.
Lol, I am not always sarcastic...
I think it really doesn't take much to make the world a little better. My wife and I have a little 'slush fund' where every week or so we help someone out with 5 euros or something when they don't expect it.
It started a few years ago when we were waiting in line for an ice cream at a summer kiosk and the guy and his little girl in front got to the register and the place only took cash. Finns generally use card everywhere. He took his daughter's hand and said it is okay, we will get ice cream next time and the little girl (about 4) said, 'okay daddy, next time.' No tears or fuss just a little flat, but the look on the father's face crushed me. I put it on our order and he almost cried. It wasn't the money, it was the not having to let his little girl down. It doesn't take much to make life for someone a little better. Either way, he would have remembered that moment forever and now instead of in the negative, it will hopefully be a positive experience he holds. Maybe he paid it forward.
What got me on your posts a while back you did a post on Bitcoin or something and some chap from a non english speaking country replied and said he wants one sheet. It didn't make sense.With your comment and smiley photo of your face I nearly wet myself. Was the funniest thing I have seen in ages.
If everyone was like tat it would be a better place. Would've done the same as you. Not everyone is like that though. Doesn't take much to make someone smile.
