Imagine a world…

Imagine a world…

  • Where no one needed help from others
  • Where everyone was self-sufficient

where it didn’t matter where you lived or what you did that you would still have access to all the things you need to have a healthy happy life…

If we lived in such a world…

  • We wouldn’t need any kind of entitlement from a government that distributes THE COMMUNITY’S MONEY.

Since we don’t live in that world…,

  • We need people to go above and beyond to help each other
  • We need nurses to nurse and teachers to teach for a salary that doesn’t properly reward them for their contribution
  • We need disadvantaged communities to receive help during tough times

The fact is that from time to time people will need help, that is what a community is all about, and when times are good, those very same people help their community.

Rather than a discussion about entitlement, could we please have a discussion about contribution (and could we measure it in more than just financial terms)?
