Just wanted to say here is at least one EA who agrees with “I don’t think I’m just lucky to have what I have, I also think it’s not rightfully mine, and I ought to try to correct those injustices by giving.” In the EA GHD scene at least, I think similar sentiments aren’t that rare, but perhaps you haven’t met too many who think along those lines.
I love this sentiment and am happy to see it here on the forum. I will say though that (depending on our personality type) it can be unhelpful to dwell on this too much, or it can lead to guilt/paralysis which can stop us actually improve said injustice....
I work on a low salary and agree that can be a great way to go for periods of time. I do agree that 10% of a low salary can be tricky, but on the other hand 10% of a low salary ain’t that much hahaha
Hey, totally agree that the sentiment isn’t always helpful—it’s one that motivates me, but it’s definitely not what I say in my elevator pitch to encourage others to donate!
