Am I getting old? Jaded? Sinical?
I used to give to charity. I used to think that in a way we could cheat death. I'm only 45, holding on to life by my fingertips, and already outliving many of the people I have met over the years. All but the most evil! Now I'm not saying you should be evil just to live longer, but it makes one stop and think. They say the good die Young, that is true, mostly. What's the point of being good though if you leave this planet earlier than the bad guys?
I know you are wondering where I'm going with this. I can tell you with absolute conviction that... I have absolutely no idea.
I do know that while working on completing my bounties, I run across a lot of characters. Bleeding hearts, scoundrels, do gooders, scammers, good people with bad reps. Lately it's the bleeding hearts that have my attention. I'm supposed to be creating images and a video for one such entity. Every time I start though I want to puke! I know they want to make the world a better place, and applaud them and their efforts. It seems like they are going about it wrong though. Reading through their whitepages and stuff, it seems like they have a major god complex. Citing statistic after statistic, and claiming to have every answer. I read a lot of whitepapers, and most of these guys come across as scam artists.
I'm a super genius and I don't have the answers. I subscribe to the same philosophy as the Grinch, solve the problems, and tell nobody. Why? If you don't solve the problems you might get the blame, but if you solve the problem and somebody makes a cockup of things during execution, you are guaranteed to get it. Not worth it.
