  Help. Build bonds. Accept help. Repeat. Unlock resilience.

  1. A series of memes reblogged plus commentary. MEME 1: gallusrostromegalus hopepunk-humanity rederiswrites Me: *at IKEA struggling to load several large heavy boxes in my van* Fellow shopper: "Do you need a hand?" Me: “No thank you I think I can manage it Fellow shopper: "Oh, I didn't doubt you could manage it. I just thought if you had help it would be easier." Me: "oh yes. It would be easeer. Thank you sl much" *humble accepts help and internalises this deep, unexpected philosophical lesson* lovely story from friend today. MEME2: dicacopolis IKEA instructions Left image with X through it: person alone with pile of boards Right image: person with pile of boards and a friend to help MEME3: rederiswrites Look, this post has been wildly more popular than I thought it deserved, apparently at least in part because "dont burden others; be independent" is far more ingrained in people than | realized. So here's the thing: society works when people help each other. Helping others gives people a chance to know each other, and gives them an investment in the people they help. Helping creates bonds. People enjoy helping, and you are doing a good by letting them help you it they so wish Offer help; accept help. You will be a part of creating a helping culture. Which, incidentally, weakens capitalism and the fractionation between people that benefits those who would use us.
