At a men's shelter I have seen the guys trash and refuse the carrots because they were purple. I think on some level a dignity thing kicks in. Like I will take the charity but I'm not going to let you treat me like a lesser person because of it. I tried explaining that the purple carrots were actually fancier but they weren't having it.
- duxup 2y agoI think folks in desperate situations .... could use the gift of allowing them some dignity / choices. If you're in a bad spot your choices are so limited. Don't want to go too far down the religious hole considering where some folks have taken religion, but the whole story of Jesus washing people's feet wasn't just about his own humility / setting an example. I think it was also about treating others with some respect.
