I don't think i am pushing for feeling good. I am just suggesting that we should be the change we want to see at a low level. Be the good neighbour (literally).

I don't think i am pushing for feeling good. I am just suggesting that we should be the change we want to see at a low level. Be the good neighbour (literally). This change in culture would permeate creating good people, which would continue to do good things. These days we either pay taxes so others do good for us, or we donate money, for the same reason. We need to go to the local community centres to represent the interests of those in need, and tackle problems of poverty directly. These days there is a disgust in people about poor people. They are a "problem" and not only in the sense of "poverty is a problem" but also in the sense that "it is a problem for me to have to look at them". In engaging directly we view them more as people and we can try to connect again, rather than the only connection they have is with some local govt representative who needs to be paid to speak to them.
