No objections to this! As a very introverted person myself and clearly not against posting comments on the Internet, my intentions here are merely to inspire consideration of challenges in overcoming prejudice. I love the HN community but I doubt the HN community loves me back. I really struggle with the libertarian Darwinism so popular here. This thread concerns what it might call a weakness but I would call a necessary element in beauty. It’s like ‘negative space’ in motivation. If we were always inspired, we might not be any different than drones. To lack a sense of purpose or connection with a task is useful to society. It makes a space for connection. When we engage with new things, it can improve our society. But it can also do the opposite; particularly when resources don’t allow for new engagements. Such is the case for homeless people! Humor is not always funny, and I know my kidding here is not entertaining. I just hope for a better world for my children and I believe in the people of HN to make that possible. I just fear them missing the opportunities to do so in the name of pride and self-justification. This post gives me hope. And your comment as well, although I know it was meant as a lesson. And to be certain, it was that too.
