This page isn't as much about laws as it is reminders to myself what is important
Throughout my life, it has always been hard for me to understand how to connect with others in a way that could not only help me, but others, too. There were few places that could teach me that. I went to churches, got councelling, and as I was younger, had my parents' help for that. But in the end, all of those things helped somewhat, but I found it hard to understand how to connect with people, while at the same time be my own person. In the end, even connecting at my church, even though I made friends, didn't work well for me. I am just too awkward and different... Yet I like who I am, and believe I should not be uncomfortable so I can fit into society in a way that does not make sense to me.
I'm not sure why this is true, but I developed Anthropologie so that I could better understand where I fit in the world, and what I can do to better fit without ruining my own sense of self.
I just feel I am awkward and different. So because I often found myself on my own, I wanted to make a way to do good things for the world, and know I was doing good things.
In my life, it is easy for me to seperate myself from the world. I like people, but have always felt uncomfortable in large groups because getting myself to do things is tiring from my MS and scary from dealing with other issues. Anthropologie reminds me that this world I live in is bigger than anything I can imagine. When I connect with the world in some way other than anything I can do to feel the world's influence on my own, it helps me connect with others, and bond with them where I may not be able to do it on my own. It helps me find ways to do this.
It also helps me help others in groups where normally I may be too scared to venture out of my home to do the things I may be too scared to do on my own.
It reminds me of how I can see the world as it is in its bigger place in the world such as animals and plants, too (often I miss this). They also take place in Anthropologie.
It helps me connect with people in groups that helps them help others in a way that pays it forward (such as volunteering can feed the poor, and therefore, they can help others in their own way causing a chain reaction. It's not about doing one thing that allows for the possibility of one other good thing. Its about finding one helpful thing where I can join a group that also helps put that people we are putting in a position to be helped so that they can make their own input to the world in their own way.
This next part I am having a hard time with because no one can assume to know what is best for another person, and therefore it may need to be amended:
Anthropologie states that it is impossible to know how the people being helped will help the next group in the future or what is best for another person because no one can see the future and no one can understand what another person feels or how it affects their lives, so we must do our best to make good things reverberate through time without damaging those things.
How much am I supposed to 'help' others?
Do I help with everything?
What if they do not want help?
What if they are going down a dark path (like alcoholism, or drugs for example) but they do not want help?
What if one person's choices affect thousands in a poor way over time? Do I help them? Am I helping 'them', or myself out of fear?
Never use a person's love for you/anyone or thing, or a person's religion against them for revenge, 'teaching them a lesson', or to hurt them or against them in any way.
