Yeah totally.
My first reaction to Duchess post was that sometimes I feel I am in an unfortunate situation. I mean I continue to have food on my table, a roof over my head and a job-most of the time. I know I have family to go to if things get really bad. I hate that I don't have a better back up plan or bigger savings if it all really hits the fan.
That being said, I know there are people worse off, or also just trying to make it. I think sometimes I give others too much and don't keep enough for myself because I struggle. So there is that.
I do find it interesting that people are so willing to help out strangers-it is a fascinating phenomenom to watch on social media-even twitter-this guy was in a mental institute and asked for books and he got so many he had to ask people to stop-another lady asked for letters for her dad on his bday after he lost his wife-and he got sooo many letters. Things like that. For some reason it seems easier to help a stranger than the one next to you or in front of you.
