worthy causes caught in the quicksand

[dandelions]

I get distressed that there are nonprofit organizations that have positions like "Chief Content Officer" or "executive senior vice -somethingorother" in order to impress the wealthy that "our cause is worthy" when most likely it is anyway. yet in turn, this posturing turns some of us, into them.

I get what you mean dandelion s.
Kind of like the way Thanksgiving- thank you Earth is how we should live our entire life, not just one day a year.

I understand that time spent on bureaucracy and fund-hunting is not time spent on the mission.
What did mean by turning 'us' into 'them'?

i may be wrong, but to me, they (some of "us") seem to operate with a fevour that takes them out of the realm of comrade and puts them into the capitalistic machine of self serving accomplishment at all cost.

I hope you can withdraw your mind from the twisted paths we know as "society" or "humanity" or whatever; because it is a dangerous habit in my humble opinion.
There are good people out there and here, and you are one of us too.

I know someone who reads or you could say hyperfocuses on things of the world of people and I've watched him lanalyse anf accept it all nsinuate a pervasive doom-y grasp on his mind.

💜 Honestly - as represented by my new user name and avatar here on suicide forum, I am transitioning in many ways - not just one - from the damaged goods created in another time, into someone real today.

Someone once close does not realize this and sent me away, but bonds don't break so easy, and this person will discover what I now try to express to everyone here and everywhere, that healing does happen even if at times arduous and sad. Healing is a worthy cause that needs no fund raising 👽

This is so true and often quietly hiding, just waiting to be.
'Recently, I got into some conflicts about healing. So I distinctly feel the poignancy of what you say.
