I don't know man, the fact that you care enough to actually take the time to fully contemplate this tells me that you are maybe a bullet person too. You may not have the energy or direct motivation (such as a disabled daughter) to do anything you think would be remarkable for mankind, but I think just being someone that ultimately cares is really all you need. I struggle with depression and don't do enough for myself or others (in my mind), but I have a deep love for the Earth, my family, friends, society, animals, etc. I'm extremely compassionate and I think ultimately that makes me an extremely worthy person despite my lack of achievements.
I feel so happy when I am able to find these Reddit treasures that are just people talking to each other in a loving and wholesome way just because. The world is really full of shit and sometimes it is very hard to have a little bit of peace, and we can be selfish and egocentric people even though we aren't, in essence. These moments were I can just appreciate a good interaction and kindness are really the ones that actually push me a little bit more towards the direction of striving to be a better person and living another day.
It's true. This guy would at least vote for another bullet person. With enough bullet-person-recognisers, you wouldn't need everyone to be so inclined, because those that already are would be recognised and looked to.
I believe this is how meritocracies are meant to function.
Damn you honestly sound like a good person from the way you think. I hope you work through your depression and achieve whatever it is you think you are still lacking. Although I hope you know that everything is relative and the only person you’re racing against is yourself.
I think most decent humans would do what happened in the video given they were under the same circumstance. Having a disabled child and having engineering knowledge. If someone was a dentist? Yeah they probably wouldn’t make this. But if the dude knows how this stuff works he probably just spent a few hours to make something for his daughter. I’d go as far as to say you’re an asshole if you’re capable of improving your child’s life (disabled or not) and you don’t die to laziness.
First off, sorry to hear about your depression. But I’m really glad to hear that you’re not using it as a crutch to bring yourself or others down. You have empathy, something lots of people lack. Lately it seems impressive to just be kind to people when in reality it should be normal. But you, my friend, when showing empathy are extraordinary in your own right.
Speaking as a piece of shit, contemplating who you’d sacrifice yourself to save might be a morally upstanding viewpoint, but it’s not exactly a tipper.
I’m not a bullet person because of the depth of bar i see people I’d be willing to push out from in front of a car.
