I love to give. I do love receiving but that’s why we invented a position for doing both. Let’s just all 69 ok?

2021-10-27 22:21:14 +0000 UTCIt’s not always easy to be self-aware and understanding how your actions can affect others. I thinks why so many people don’t do it. It’s hard to slow down enough, be mindful enough to realize how what you do could impact someone else. Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry you had to face food uncertainty. I know how hard this is. I hope you and your wife are fairing a bit better now.

2021-10-07 14:56:09 +0000 UTCI remember, at the start of the pandemic, grocery store shelves were being picked clean. My wife and I would go to the store after work, see the carts of the entitled folks in the well-to-do area we shop in piled up to their eyeballs, and we'd find the store completely out of fresh meat. Day 3: no meat. Day 5: no meat. And after about a week and a half, we were dangerously low on food and starting to panick thinking how we'd survive another week. I started working from home soon thereafter, and on my first day I was able to get to the store the moment they opened, and found meats packaged and bundled with signs cautioning low stocks, and limits per item. I was angry, and resentful of everyone's greed that had brought us to this point. I went to the packages of cut up whole chicken (the only fresh chicken offering they had), saw there were no more than 10 there, and took two. I thought about taking more, as many as they would allow, just to be safe, as we had just been facing food uncertainty before this trip, but then, I nearly broke into tears thinking how one more package of chicken for me and my wife might mean some family would go hungry tonight. My conscious would not allow it. Indeed, some people take whatever they can, and some take only what will be enough.

2021-10-07 14:03:22 +0000 UTCOh, jeez lol. I probably should've figured that out judging from your profile pic😳 Well, at least you owned up to it

2021-09-08 16:00:07 +0000 UTCYou actually responded, I feel honored👍 I forgot I even replied to this post. But, yeah it's actually better to have a 50/50 balance of both. If you're 100% giver you'll get taken advantage of and if you're 100% taker then you're just, well, a tyrant and probably a jerk with no moral compass.

2021-09-07 13:34:26 +0000 UTCSame. I revolve from giver to taker and back and forth. It’s an interesting thought.

2021-09-07 13:33:17 +0000 UTCAnd what's up with some idiot always insisting on having a pineapple pizza at these pizza parties? All the other pizza ends up getting eaten, everybody's still hungry and the only other pizza left is the pineapple one. The one where the person who insisted on having it only ate 2 slices of it.

2021-09-07 07:54:26 +0000 UTCYou mean 3 slices? I don't know this guy's terminology annoys me. Anyway, so what do you call a person, like myself, who has done both at times? A giver and a taker, I guess

2021-09-07 07:47:55 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, I believe that this is what you can expect to happen in today's world.

2021-09-05 18:10:28 +0000 UTCThis is just another way of saying the world has givers and takers. Dannie, I know you’re a giver and I try to be one also.

2021-09-05 16:37:53 +0000 UTCThese days, there are more of the 3-piece takers and not enough 1-piece takers. Consideration of others is going the way of common sense and the 🦤.
Kim Rice
2021-09-05 16:35:13 +0000 UTCVery true. Considering others is very important on a community mentality. Sadly the ones crying for support might be the ones grabbing the 3 pieces.
