Do we really need Christmas or some other national, religious or commercial day to be nice?
I can actually relate to this part of your post and it's irritating. The saddest part for me are those people who always see the need to video everything just because they're showing love to the needy
That irritating, sad part is more like abusing and humiliating people. I know that's the reason why we have so much hidden poverty. Not everyone likes to admit s/he can't handle that pile of bills any longer. Bills of things not related to fun in life.
Next to that why use others to make yourself look good? I don't believe that's the way. Why force those in need to smile, look happy, and say something positive while you know whatever they gave is by far not enough, and your head is filled with worries? Why say "thank you" if that gift isn't the first thing you had in mind or would do to solve a few problems?
What irritates me most is those gifts are rarely bought by them or if so only to avoid paying taxes. It feels as if those phones glued to their hands are always swift on and the first thing they do is taking a selfie with their own stupid smile in the middle/front.
I saw it on Steemit as well and it irritates me. Do we need all those faces to prove we did something good?
Perhaps I should publish a list with names of Steemians and amounts behind it.. gifts, loans... (those loans never paid back).
It's not hard to be nice without all the nonsense above, but if it comes to it these are always the same people and it clearly pays off; otherwise, they wouldn't keep doing it. The cattle of friends following them seem to find it super as well.
If you ask me most people are lost anyway, since scam is a common thing to do and interesting enough the big votes go to these people.
Let's ignore and build our own happy paradise, no matter how small, and be happy what we achieve alone... since the life experiences and skills you need to do so are priceless.
Merry days, friend!
A super creative day/week
🍀♥️
