I don’t think that I am a particularly kind or compassionate person, but other people disagree.
Most days of my life are littered with human beings getting in touch with me to share heartfelt thank yous for the work that I do in the world.
To be honest, as much as I enjoy supporting a mental health community and education podcast… I engage in the project for myself, more than anyone else. Still, other humans seem to think that I am generous and philanthropic. At least, I can try to be in my day-to-day life… Like right now, trying to secure a brand new air conditioning system for my extremely elderly neighbor. You see, my next door neighbor has been suffering from heating, cooling, and air quality control breakdowns for as long as I have lived here. His central heating and cooling system is at least 20 years old. He refuses to replace the forced air furnace or air conditioning system because he insists that he will not be around long enough to enjoy the high-quality indoor air. Still, I can’t stand knowing that his air conditioning unit breaks down roughly every month and he can only afford a professional heating, cooling, and air quality control appointment to repair the cooling system roughly every three months. This is why I am trying to purchase a brand new central cooling system for my neighbor at the moment. I know he won’t accept financial donations for his HVAC appointments, but maybe he will take this modern air conditioning unit from me if he has no choice.
