Making Good Karma off Trump Headlines.
Inspired by help.rescue.org
Here’s the deal pal. You can laugh at the headlines, as I know you do. We're all stuck in some sort of an absurd, nightmare comedy that keeps getting more fiery and funnier. You can however, choose to donate a little bit of your good fortune, whatever you can afford, to help those who have lost everything. It won't change the headlines, but you’ll feel good inside. You’ll sleep better knowing that you helped someone who desperately needed help.
Finished laughing? Yeah me too. It gets old fast. Our envoy to Italy is a billionaire. And he is cruising Italy’s coastal towns in a 450mm yacht as a gesture of goodwill. And the Italians have to pay for his security. Can’t make this up. And yes let’s tariff Canada for sending us the wildfire smoke. If you ask a 2nd grader, what should be done about wildfire and heat they’ll say “fix the climate.”
Clearly you and I are helpless to change the headlines. What you can do and it’s in your control is to help families in Venezuela who have lost 5000 people and their homes. Our troops are down there helping. Your donations will go directly to the charities and our troops will disperse them as required.
You can help starving children in Sudan and other parts of Congo and Africa.
You can help educate and feed students in St. Joseph School in South Dakota.
You can help people in Ukraine.
And very importantly, you can write letters to medical companies who have prescriptions for some medications that are between 1-4 billion per dose. And you can donate to each child who needs those doses while we wait for the medical companies to make things cheaper.
Those are things you have control over. Those are things you can do. It will help you sleep better and you will feel better for having done so. The biggest rebellion a person can wage is inside their own mind.
I doubt writing to the men and women of Congress or the Senate will change anything. I consider them to be lost causes.
Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning "action" or "deed". It is the universal law of cause and effect: every action, intentional thought, and word generates a ripple that eventually returns to the individual. Positive actions yield positive consequences, while negative actions lead to negative ones.
