“spirtually and passionately alive”
Really… what ARE you supposed to do when in a coffee shop in Chihuahua, Mexcio working on your stupidly expensive Mac laptop and a mangy woman walks in and shoves a piece of notebook paper in your face?
No doubt a petition for money justified by some alleged plight. Her young daughter following a half a shuffle behind, peering at the screen you’re glued to, witnessing how all of us barely even glance at her mother as she begs.
Give a woman a fish instead of teach her to fish? Turn her away because you can’t be bothered? Because she didn’t make the effort to connect with you in some way before begging? Refuse on the account that you don’t want to contribute to the concept of supporting those who don’t earn their wages through work?
As if they is work that would pay her a humane rate…
I probably give more often than most, yet still refuse way more often than I give. Whether I give or not, I never feel like I’m doing the right thing…

Do we live to abolish death? No – we live to fear it and then again to love it, and just for death’s sake it is that our spark of life glows for an hour now and then so brightly.
