My level of empathy goes as follows: 1) stray animals/shelter animals 2) poor humans in the developing world 3) poor humans in the first world

I met this guy from Mexicali today walk back from the beach and he was hungry and I didn’t have any money on me and I legit feel bad bc he was so nice. He had like 5 teeth and was trying to make it to the next day to start work on the new gringo luxury condos . I went back outside after looking for him after I got my wallet and couldn’t find him . Eyes wide open perspective, I’m so blessed
“The psychology of money” states that no matter how much we have, we always compare ourselves to those that have more, and it’s so true. Have to learn to be happy with what we have. I was telling nostr:npub1e873s875jdfqamskc305g75td6zg8vj239282slwjew762xd758snwekmz it’s crazy how so many ppl here have nothing but they are making the best of it and are legit way happier than me
I pet the same stray dog again (he remembered me) and I saw he had these scabs on his body and my heart just sank like ugh I really need to get on this pet rescue idea . Needs a vet stat 😢
As our bitcoin riches increase it is important to remember to give back and understand what we put out in the universe always comes back. “Be the change you want to see”
My sharp edges from my nyc parent upbringing has me thinking watch yo back/not let him know where im staying, but really they are honest people and just trying to survive . He wasn’t even upset that I said no he was happy that I even had a conversation with him and treated him like a human. He said my Spanish was good 😂
It’s important to leave our bubbles once in a while and understand how big the world is and how everything is relative
And also that social media is not real life lol . It’s a huge cause of depression
Perhaps I’m too cynical 🙌
Exactly. It is so important to travel outside of the US and gain perspective. 10%+ Americans have never left their home state. 40%+ have never left the US. Helps explain the entitlement and the constant demand for free handouts.
