I am misunderstood ALOT for MANY reasons. But I currently I think the most misunderstood thing is my charity work. I think people think I am trying to get brownie points or look like a Pollyanna and that I actually don't care about these people and causes. The funny thing is, I only mention like TEN PERCENT of the charity and activism I participate in because it's almost like it doesn't count if you talk about it.
HOWEVER when I -do- talk about it, It's PURELY to MOTIVATE OTHERS to doing similar things and hoping the learn to pay it forward. I don't say "I donated this, marched in that, or gave whatever" because of an 'image'. I will let some things slip in the hopes of shaming selfish people into doing more for their fellow man. I never claimed I couldn't be manipulative for a good cause. But if I feel or KNOW someone is selfish, ESPECIALLY somebody of means, I will let them know the temporarily crippled starving artist still find the strength, energy, money, and/or time to help my fellow brothers, sisters, or animals. I do so in the hopes that they will be embarrassed or at least NOTICE their own self-centered issues and perhaps next time, they will remember it and let that car pass in front of them, give that homeless man a sandwich, tip their mailman, compliment the overweight waitress, or bring can goods to food drives. Trust me, if I discussed it for 'brownie points' or to look like the Madonna, bleeding from my eyes, I would tell you about the other 90 percent that noone knows but me, the people or organization I am helping and maybe Robert.
30. List 10 things you would hope to be remembered for.
