If you win, though, how are you going to get all the homeless off the streets?
Good question let me try and partially answer it
Money in itself provides insufficient energy to do any good to people who believe that they are alone. You can give to each 1 million and they will probably spend it on drugs, prostitutes, alcohol and at the end end up on the streets again.
Money for me isn't the solution but rather the means with which I will get to the solution.
Money alone can provide to homeless a better quality of misery it won't provide the necessary philosophical framework with which they can recontextualize their life experience or with other words make them "see things different".
We may observe how throughout history, society has tried to "treat" social problems by legislative action, war-fare, market manipulation, laws, and prohibitions only to see these problems persist or recur despite treatment. Although governments are myopic, to the sensitive observer it eventually becomes obvious that conditions of social conflict won't dissapear until the underlying origins have been exposed and "healed". The underline problem of all homeless is their inabillity to love themselves and our inabillity to send them anything other than condemnation and jugdement.
I shall aim my efforts in healing and not treating their problem.
The difference between
treating and
healing is that in the former, the context remains the same, whereas in the latter, the clinical response is elicited by a change of context as to bring about an absolute removal of the cause of the condition rather than mere recovery from its symptons.
It's one thing to prescribe an anti-hypertensive medication for high blood pressure and it's quite another to expand the patient's context of life so that he stops being angry and repressive all together.
From my own struggles to better myself, I have learned compassion for those still in the grip of inner conflict. Out of this grows a wisdom, including compassion for the entire human condition.
My empowerment comes from meaning and meaning is an expression in context. Those things that have the greatest meaning to me arise from the spiritual not the material world. My attitude stems from my position and my position has to do with motive and context.
I find ridiculous to stay a pathetic observer or even worse a critic who does nothing to change the conditions of our world. Everything started with someone who had a thought about something great. Every man has a religion, has something in heaven or earth which he will give up everything else for, something which absorbs him, which may be regarded by others as being no sense and yet it is his lodestar, it is his master. That whatever it is one day seized upon me, made me his servant, induced me to set aside other ambitions. It is something which i followed and keep following to this date with a full heart...When once I am convinced I never let go. The solution will be found by fostering the positive rather than attacking the negative.
We all want to find our music and I can't die wondering what my music is. I have found out what it is, it's playing right now and it will play much easier in the future too if I win the jackpot.
. Only managed to scoop small amounts here and there. Funny that i was down to $0.50 i went to major millions got through to the bonus round where after busting out I got $2 compensation. In the next spin I won another $50 after hitting 5 boats. From there with some BJ play I jumped up to $100 where I cashed in and broke even
