I have had this thought since I was a kid, and was told by my Catholic grandmother that it was quite an uncharitable thought to have. 🙄 Apparently people genuinely believe it is wrong to believe the world shouldn‘t need charity, but since it does, it is our duty to do what we can. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Go figure.

TheBookHippie It‘s allllll POLICY CHOICES. (edited) 5d
TheBookHippie You should have been at resistance spaghetti dinner -the topic: did Adam blame the apple on Eve when he was in fact guilty and did she take the blame cause “love” and is that actually our curse because she did that?!?! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😵‍💫😝😅🫨 5d
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie what a discussion topic. That had to have been a good one! I love it. Yeah, every policy should lead to no longer needing charities or voluntary help for people, and yet most policies actually do the opposite. 5d
Bookwormjillk Another book going on my TBR 5d
GingerAntics @Bookwormjillk it‘s really good so far 5d

A book too cute not to buy while we were in Bath, England. I got it for #foodandlit #Finland in December @Catsandbooks

Years ago I saw the author of this book on a tv show with his daughter talking about how this idea came to be. I was impressed & wanted to read more about it. They believe that if you give away half of what you have those who have little can have more. It is a good & thought provoking story but the book itself didn‘t impress me as much as the family did when I saw them on tv.

Ahh 😌 I seem to have shifted out of my reading-stuckness thanks to an application of Holmes and Moomintroll 😊
I'm up to The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton, which is an excellent story, but really doesn't show Holmes in a good light: it's one of those few where his actions and omissions are morally dubious, regardless of the iniquity of the villain.
Jansson's The Invisible Child is a wonderful child-appropriate exploration of the ⬇️

The Fir Tree is a Christmas story telling of the Moomins unseasonal awakening from hibernation, and their bewilderment about holiday traditions they've never experienced. Despite their confusion, the Moomin family carry the spirit of Christmas in their hearts, so all goes well.
Being unstuck, I've started on this newly-delivered counselling journal, with the theme "How can I be of help", which ⬇️

Bookwomble ... includes a paper on therapeutic stuckness, which seems timely for me 😆
And also started is a new-to-me translation of the Tao Te Ching by David Hinton in a pretty Macmillan Collectors edition. His introduction and glossary are useful and interesting, and searching some terms landed me on this paper about translating the work 🙂

Wanted to share this “Thank You” card I received in the mail to everyone that has been sharing their used stamps with me which I‘ve been forwarding on to this Charity.

“War Paws” 🐾 is another charity I‘m supporting through the financial contributions used stamps bring them. It helps alleviate the pain & suffering of dogs in war/hostile environments. Any used stamps you want to contribute helps 🫶🏻🐾
