Praying for tidal waves

[stillsostrange]

To all of those people out there with no sympathy for the people left behind, those who are doing what they need to to survive...

I hope you all know how to fucking swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

I've been wondering what I would do if I had no food or potable water. Would I steal? As much as I generally love to be on a moral highhorse, I'm pretty sure I would. I'd steal a whole big bunch if I had people depending on me.

I'm not wishing for a tidal wave, though.

it's all about balance

if you steal one loaf of bread and that loaf of 10 slices feeds 10 people, or five people, then is the harm of stealing that loaf greater or lesser than letting 10 people go hungry (er).

to me it's not about Stealing or Not Stealing, it's about levels of suffering. There is no excuse to steal items that are not Food/Clothing/Shelter provided you NEED those items. Provided you share those items, provided you GIVE those items to those who need, to those who may need them more than you do.

karma knows that trick. It's not black nor white.
