| BC Prompt: “It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.” Robert M. Pirsig Interpret this quote in any form or style you wish. Using this in my next book! Basically it says to me that while the top (1%), financially, benefits the most, they would be nothing without the rest of us. ---- Note to self: Was updating my notepad to include a list of "People to look out for/Buy stuff/tickets for:" and the first word that came to mind was 'charity'. I hate that I feel weird titling this 'Charity'. Why is 'Charity' such a 'bad'/'insulting' word for some people? I think it's a bad idea to perpetuate b/c it infers that those receiving charitable donations are somehow...suffering. When really it's just nice people doing things for other nice people. So, as I often do when I need to remember the intrinsic meaning of a word, I went to Google (the new dictionary): 1.the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need. synonyms: financial assistance · aid · welfare · relief · financial relief · [more] 2.an organization set up to provide help and raise money for those in need. synonyms: nonprofit organization · voluntary organization · [more] 3.kindness and tolerance in judging others: "she found it hard to look on her mother with much charity" synonyms: goodwill · compassion · consideration · concern · [more] I figure since 2/3 dealt with NEED, I can comfortable say, that while I THINK everyone "needs" support and community friendship, those in question may not feel they 'need' it. So I changed the list title to "Goodwill" ;-D ---------- Other notes: "Note: Throwback Monday! Remember when it was still..." "Note: I didn't know you could send ONE FREE BADGE ..." "Note: Is the monthly contest still going on? Search is u..." "Noticing Newbies Newsletter (March 23, 2016)"  Response ▼ ----------- To Read/Do "Winners!" "Note: *StarfishR* Oh, just in case you didn't..." "The Weekly Quickie Contest" Write a quickie inspired by this unknown sourced quote: "Life is like Tango... sad, sensual, sexy, violent and quiet." However, keep to the rules listed in the contest for what not to have in the story. *lightbulb* Idea: The Last Tango - divorce |
