so much of today's society is about everyone being out for themselves. this, by its very nature encourages everyone to do the same, which inevitably leads to where we are now: people are often reluctant to accept help. either out of pride, or the desire to be independent, or out of suspicion about whether there will be a payback, and if so, what nature will it take?
i know from experience that there are many people who do not think like this. who offer and accept help whenever it is needed, but who do not have the opportunity as often as they would like. I know also that there are myriad things you can do, every day, to make the world a nicer place to be in. the more people are nice to each other for no reason other than it makes everyone happier, the more it will be adopted into the hive mind, the more it will become second nature.
my aim then, is to be the catalyst. to bring together those needing help and those with time to give, and to build and encourage a community of people who understand how the world can work, if people just choose the nicer option when they are faced with a choice. everyone knows what the nicer choice is. our moral compasses are still pointing true, we've just built up a collective defence mechanism that over-zealously censors our kinder impulses.
if this all sounds a bit tree-huggy, or preachy, that's really not my intent. this isn't a pyramid scheme, or a cult. it's just people choosing to be awesome to each other. try it - maybe i can help you with something? need help setting up your own blog to get your positivity out to the world? need to vent your woes to someone objective and unconnected? want to know what obscure new music is cool? need something proof-reading? anything at all you need help with, ask me
