Your heart is so beautiful. It takes so little to be kind. If I have extra and someone needs it, it is theirs. Our mail room has become a freecycling center and mini food pantry for the entire neighborhood. My aunt stocks a Free Little Library for her neighborhood. An 18 pack of disposable menstrual pads costs under $3. I guarantee that those of us who know or have known poverty are far more charitable than the rich because we remember what it was like to choose to feed your kids or yourself. Or to split the last can of tuna with the cat.
That is an absolute fact that I have found to be universally true thus far. Poor people get it. When they give, it is without condition and freely given. One can rarely say the same for wealthy people, unfortunately. ❤️ I'm so glad to hear about you and yours out there holding it down for the people who need it. There are a lot of us but we do have a pretty big order in front of us at this particular moment in time. 🫂
So these fake Christians want people to hate them and not help them out if they need help. Because the Golden Rule, as stated by Jesus says to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Oh, wait, they are fake Christians, because they fail to follow Jesus' example and teachings.
I've too have been playing with a piece that addresses Musk's claim that "empathy is a weakness" and I'm so glad you wrote this. You come at it from a different direction (my approach basically picks up where you leave off). Now I'm motivated to start working on it. I can envision them as good companion pieces - or the beginning of an empathy-themed writing chain. Anyway, this is a terrific piece, down to the final word.
How did I miss this war on compassion? I guess because I don’t expect anything credible from the christian right. Thanks Blue, for enlightening me once again.

These people think it's the Crusades again and they're all knights marching off to "save" Jerusalem.
They all have those he man fantasies don't they?

They live by the credo of: Do unto others before they can do unto you.

Thank you my dear! I can't wait to read yours as well! ☺️
Thank you for “enshittifying.”
Incredible writing! I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Hey, thanks Taylor! I appreciate you! 😊
Empathy is a hallmark of true humanity. One is just an empty shell without it.
Absolutely how I feel about it as well. Which is what makes this crusade to destroy it incredibly frightening.
