3.6Which is great, you know? I fully support donating food and time to help those who have less.
So the school has small student-flyers taped around school and I read one right outside of the girl's bathroom that just made me have an errant thought.
"Every 3.6 seconds, someone dies of hunger."
That's horrible, isn't it?
And I thought, Maybe those 3.6 seconds you spent printing this and the additional 3.6 seconds I spent studying this flyer would have been better spent actually helping.
Of course, you might read this and then say, Well what about the time you spent typing and complaining about this?
That's the thing though... If every 3.6 seconds, you donated money or food to help someone, it might not help that person that died just then.
"Oh well, you're going to use that as your excuse not to donate? It doesn't help immediately so you don't do it at all??"
Of course I donate, food, money, clothes, etc.
So that maybe I can help someone avoid those final 3.6 seconds.
I don't even know if I have a reason for typing all of this; I'm glad that people are being informed.
But what if they had that same realization that I did, only they didn't donate, because they said, well, if every 3.6 seconds, someone dies, then I can't really do anything to help them in 3.5 seconds?
Maybe instead of making guilt-provoking, fatalistic flyers, maybe we should print ones about preventing someone from dying?
Just a thought.
Hope
