RE: Gofundme - Free Crowdfunding for Noble Causes
Dear @juanmolina
Life is always contradictory and ironic, she surprises us
She? :) IS life a 'female'? ;)
Interesting read. As always.
Walking through life can be compared to walking through a maze.
Interesting comparison. I kind of see it different way. Perhaps because I live in part of the world that is more predictable and I think of life as a journey in well known direction. However during that journey I'm being hit from left and right by things less predictable and obstacles are being thrown in front of me.
Personally I wouldn't like to think of life as of a maze. Having clear direction and vision for the future is something I found necessary (perhaps I simply don't like labyrinths :)
Anyway back to main topic - I've never heard about Gofundme and personally I don't know if I believe in success of this kind of platform. Anything that has word 'noble causes' sounds like ... noone will be interested.
Charities are being done to serve mostly marketing or political purposes. Supporting those in need just for the sake of supporting them ... ehm, it hardly ever works. There is just way more people in need, than those willing to share their own resources.
upvote on the way :) Enjoy upcoming weekend,
Yours, Piotr
:) In Spanish "Life" is considered female, so "she" is used when we translate it. I think that in other languages it is a neutral or indeterminate gender word, so it can be a bit weird what we do.
Perhaps there is a reminiscence of old beliefs, those that spoke of the Goddess of Life

Dear Piotr, thanks for comment.
Oh yeah.
Do you not know how powerful the "Females" are?
Like you, I also thought that this platform was simply "appearances", perhaps with a dark background.
But as you realize, I learned about Gofundme in the case of my Uncle's illness. Then reading a little I could realize that thousands of successful campaigns have been carried out.
Your friend, Juan.
Thank you very much Sir.
