eat the rich

This is a hazily-defined goal, and I’m already wondering if I’m truly committed to achieving it. It all depends on what my criteria for “helping the poor” is. I went to a local homeless shelter to volunteer earlier this year, but I didn’t go back when they assigned me to do exactly what I didn’t want to do – teach and tutor. I only occasionally give to panhandlers. I throw out electrical equipment that ends up in dumps in third world countries. I focus my educational and artistic efforts on making myself happy rather than making life better for those less fortunate. And so on and so on. I need to start thinking about wht I can do to measurably achieve this goal on even the smallest level.
