Charity and Acts of Kindness
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 2:49 PM
You might have come in here hoping for a heartwarming holiday story, or expecting a request for browncoat aid. But no! Instead you discover it is grouchy ranting time. As a big believer in kindness and misery, I am a fan of spreading both around.My experience with charity is that it doesn't make you feel better about yourself. It makes you broke and hungry. The definition of a selfless act is any display of idiocy that leaves the benefactor worse off than the person they're helping. As a misanthrope, I would also appreciate it if after being accosted people didn't ask me about my marital status, and instead allowed me to stew in my own contempt for everything in peace.
I am hoping that this behaviour of begrudging resentment, and hunger, mitigates any sympathy or approbation I might receive whenever I give money to anyone, which will do precisely nothing to help them better their life.
In conclusion, we all have choices, and sometimes the only choice we can make is to be stupid.

It's true. I got kinda annoyed by this, but most of the anger now is forced to keep up appearances. Though tomorrow I will go a different route to my bus stop, because I have no money.
