As you may know, I've been trying to help a disabled friend, Darren, with his fundraising campaign.

Very sadly, his mother passed away this week. Our thoughts are with him x ❤️

I'm seeing my posts that are trying to help a disabled friend are being seen by people - but I don't understand why it's not getting more shares.

I'm really losing faith in people and humanity.

And these days, you simply don't know what weapons people might be carrying. You dare not risk saying anything because you might get stabbed. It only takes one time. My wife does not feel safe going out anymore.

Thomas H. @themingford.bsky.social · Sep 12

And age is no limiting factor. My wife has had verbal abuse from people young and old. There are too many horrible, awful, nasty people around.

Maybe compassion should be a four letter word. At least more people these days might use it.

Thomas H. @themingford.bsky.social · Sep 12

Your opinion doesn't change facts or reality that others have to live with.

Thomas H. @themingford.bsky.social · Sep 12

You don't need to judge.

You don't need to have an opinion on everything.

Being compassionate, kind and helpful is a choice.

Thomas H. @themingford.bsky.social · Sep 12

Anyone can choose to be helpful instead of hateful.

Thomas H. @themingford.bsky.social · Sep 12

People are so quick to judge or have pretty nasty opinions without knowing. It's sheer ignorance. But then to act on that with verbal or physical abuse, they are such horrible people. So little empathy. It's so draining.
