The same happens to homeless people, a lot of people just walk by without looking them into the eyes because "there are too many" or people simply don't want to say no because it makes them feel bad. Which is understandable but what most forget over this: the person sitting there probably feels even worse and in the end we are all human and each and everyone can make people around us feel good instead of bad by a simple smile. It is not much but I think it's a way to make the world better :)<br />And I'm sure Lia, you are not one of those who completely ignore a hello or yell at a fundraiser ;)<br /><br />Btw thanks for the really thoughtful comment! I love it when people criticise and think! :) Un bisou ma belle!LeonieLoewenherzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08191315446725770011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355129310993935972.post-91486678072929969302017-01-11T02:57:37.611-08:002017-01-11T02:57:37.611-08:00This was a great read! I believe working with &quo...This was a great read! I believe working with "people" always lead to this feeling that "look at me. I exist". I wrote about it last year too, when working at Disneyland Paris... People didn't even look at me. You say "hello" and they won't look. It's even crazier because , hell, they PAID to get in the park, they have time, they are on holidays... but they still are rushing, shouting after their kids and not taking the time to create human connexions.<br /><br />Also, this obviously made me think of Amanda Palmer's Art of Asking. Have you read it? I spend my time talking about it. If you haven't, I believe you'd really like it!<br /><br />As for fundraising, I totally approve of your opinion, and yet I am one of those people who just rush saying "Sorry I don't have time but I know your job is hard so please keep strength and good luck". Most of the time it's true, I'm always late and fundraisers are in places where... well people rush. Like in front of a train station. I always feel sorry.<br />Still it is also a kind of excuse because it's really hard for me to explain "Hey I have a problem with money, it's not real for me so sure I'd give hundreds to help because I don't realize and then I find myself in trouble... so now I only give material goods which allows me to have a better understanding."<br />All of this is true, and it also allows me to choose how I give. This is the only way I found not to be in trouble with money and yet to "play my part".<br /><br />Anyway! Thank you for writing this article!
