Guilt vs. logic vs. good intentions. How can you say no to Hugh? But eventually I came to the same conclusion. Its all about raising awareness and helping the cause, and you're doing that by writing about it and donating! (That's what I'm telling myself anyways.) Good work. <br /><br />CatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576404862870491215.post-1635245081672897322011-05-09T13:09:14.677+10:002011-05-09T13:09:14.677+10:00So grateful to hear it Cat, thanks for following! ...So grateful to hear it Cat, thanks for following!

Its always so nice to discover that there are so many positive things going on all around us if you only know where to look.

He felt the need to stop.

I can't help thinking, actually, about the notion of 'responsibility', as it's taken up in post-structuralist circles, mainly by Derrida. He basically takes up the task of thinking through the dilemma you mention in one of your posts, the 'which is the best way to help' one; do I help this person cross the street, or do I donate all my money to developing nations, etc etc. He says that no mater WHAT you do you will always be failing some other person or persons - no mater how responsible or responsive you are to someone who calls to you, there will always be countless others to whom you have NOT responded, whose calls continue to go unheeded. And so how do you justify any 'act' when it will always, also, be a failure of some kind? He ultimately argues, similarly to Chris Abani, really, that you have to act, regardless, time and time again, and you have to act according to your own conscience, because no external 'meter' (or religion, really) can tell you what to do without kind of diluting the process. I"m paraphrasing awfully, of course - but if you're interested, the book is The Gift of Death - brief precis here: http://www.quodlibet.net/gift.shtml. Also worth a read is Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling - that's one of the texts Derrida analyses in the book; it's about Abraham being asked to sacfirice Isaac on the mountain, all very fascinating stuff! It sounds a long way away from smiling at strangers, I suspect, but it's all linked, really...gchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776935568145088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576404862870491215.post-27339098505536861822011-04-09T14:17:19.700+10:002011-04-09T14:17:19.700+10:00Thank you so much Catherine for your encouragement...Thank you so much Catherine for your encouragement and more than a little inspiration! I love the way that a blog can act as a more public form of the conscience. It is so easy to "say" you are going to do something, however I think the presence of a blog provides somebody besides yourself to answer to and can be very motivational when you are rewarded with the feedback of interested people. I am really excited to follow your journey over the next year.<br /><br />And I'm sure you had another specific "kindness" on your list today but please add "leaving a kind comment on a stranger's blog" because you have made my day! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186411581977961607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576404862870491215.post-21527607306669023842011-04-08T17:49:08.291+10:002011-04-08T17:49:08.291+10:00Hi Rachel,

I have decided to do one kind act every day for a year and it can seem overwhelming at times. I share your dubiousness towards being "a blogger" but also love writing and wish to emphasise what I believe is people's inherent goodness and desire to connect. So far I think (hope) blogging with a purpose can be very worthwhile! <br /><br />Well done on shining a light on your beautiful "quiet observations", and I look forward to future posts. :) <br /><br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
