I’ve never really been good about helping with this and it really bothers me, so I’m starting small. I hate having to pass people by the side of the road when I know that I have so much more than they do (even if I don’t have all that much). I’ve never been comfortable giving money, but don’t mind giving food. So I’m trying to keep my car stocked with high protein/high calorie pre-packaged foods that I would want to eat.
I’ve been doing this for a few weeks and it’s been great so far. I am worried a bit that I am only putting a band-aid over my guilt and trying to keep myself from feeling bad about just turning my head when someone asks for help. So instead, I am doing my best to help and not to treat people as less than human just because life has not treated them as well as it has treated me. I’m trying to remember how much it means to me when I get a little bit of a helping hand when I need it.
