Live, Love, Dance, Enjoy (and don't take advantage of others) while we live on this planet
Video of 'regular people' just living, loving & enjoying......contributing too, of course. But "contributing" doesn't mean 'soul-destroying' servitude.

1. Who is soul-destroying? Who is in servitude?
I think that is the system most of us are against. Servitude is coercion.

I find great peace and comfort in knowing so many people, with better thoughts of sharing and giving are helping so many people.

So many songs and stories have so much meaning and such added beauty in them, it is soul lifting to know support comes through so many people of good heart and thought.


And I am due beer and travel money and many experiences, so what was the question again?

2. Yes, many artists and others , of all sorts, have pointed the way
which many of us STUBBORNLY refuse to follow.

Regardless, why do you need/want beer & travel money again? Where are you intending to go and what are you trying to do? Perhaps we would help if we understood your intentions.

Travelers need 'travel money' ~ beer, not so much, but is 'nice'. Why do you say that you are "due"? Who "owes" you for this?

3. If you need to know the intentions.
Then it would not be payment of a due, but some offer with strings attached.

That would change the equation.

I have explained it many times, many many times, hard to believe you have not read it.

This explains some of the concepts around the topic.

And nobody owes it, it is just due. That is part of the paradox. Plus it is a place holder for larger contexts built around personal experiences that allow a focus on an issue with clarity, that can represent the larger context of justice with compassion for many people.


Although the first line in the thought is that it is for a smear done when defending concepts of justice and compassion, specifically defending due process, and against the idea of ideological driven vigilantism without justice and without compassion.
