You're a good guy @thedarkhorse! You're so right; so many live with their eyes closed, or their eyes only on themselves, that they forget to simply help their fellow man. We often do the same here because things are tough for so many. I'm glad we found each other in this steemit world <3
It's not a hard thing to help others. Seriously I see people hurrying to make sure they don't have to hold a door for someone because they can't take that 3 seconds of time or something. Don't understand it. Just do little things for each other and at the end of the day the world really is a better place. Small things done by many people can have a big effect....this can either be for the good or the bad, there is no neutral ground IMO.
My kids helped a few other people this weekend make 36 cakes for a homeless shelter. They baked Friday night and then decorated on Saturday giving up all their free time for the weekend. They were so excited about this and looked forward to doing it all week. So happy to see they "get it" and even the teenager was completely into it.
I don't understand some people either! It's something that just comes naturally to me too.
Years ago, when the boys were living with us downtown Vancouver, and were teenagers, and thought that they were so hard done by, we made a bunch of sandwiches, picked up a big thing of coffee and went to the Eastside where there's a big homeless population. The boys still talk about how that affected them. It'll stay with your girls too and will be something that they teach their kids. Nice job dad :)
