it’s also the mentality people have from Eastern Europe

yeah life sucks, you’re poor as fuck, government sucks and is corrupt, but people are going to be helpful - in part because they are banking on you helping them when they’re in need

plus the opportunity to come to America is like winning the lottery since even American minimum wage is rich compared to the pay in Ukraine so there’s a desire to repay the favor somehow

It takes a village.

Now if everyone could recognize we live in a global community and helping one another is in everyone's interest maybe we could start to get somewhere.

We are all on this rock together.

I am not naive enough to believe it is possible.

But I do believe in the idea. And I believe that kindness is free and worth sharing. If I walk that lonely road then I will be there.

As someone who got the Dookie CD from WalMart when it came out, I didn't even think about that. 😁
