I have what you want.

Does one's hard work entitle them to a better lifestyle? Does work equate giving to the community? Why do we think that it is the Government's job to help the sick, the poor and single parents? Should we not all help each other?

In the recent past, community has lost its relevance. No longer is there anymore one to one. We rely on a "big charity" or the Government to help the needy but at what price? Our civil liberties are being taken away along with our right to make a difference in someones life. I say let each of us give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's... We don't have to make Caesar do what each of us as God's body should do. Less tax would be less help from the Government but at the same time more possibility to do the right thing with.

Does more Money mean more things or more philanthropic endeavors? Or how about more things that I can share with lesser fortunate people not so much in a specific outreach manner but a way to share life's toys and make friends with the downcast. Which would probably be the present day equivalent of sharing a meal with the poor versus feeding them crumbs.

I wonder if it is it a more noble act to disregard one's wealth in order to eat crumbs with the poor or should the richer share the lifestyle goods communally with all? The answer might be to share with others what God has provided. In a way that propels us into Community and not necessarily to give money to a Charity and then continuing on our independent lifestyles with our niche of friends.

#2outfit



I've been looking for jeans like this for a while and I finally found them in Mississauga. The white shirt is a staple of mine. I love how it flows in contrast to the jaggedness of the pant. As you will notice in my upcoming daily looks the purple turtle neck is an award winner. The neck roll could cover my whole face if bitter cold was oppressing me.

Everyday I will post the outfit of the day using all the clothes I have and those I keep on buying at the salvation army. Of course every piece can be bought or exchanged. I will try to include a garment story with each posting.

  • Antonio Marras shirt that zips from the back. Embroidered lady on the front. Bought in Los Angeles.
  • Purple Turtle neck bought in New York on a rainy evening at the unset of the fall.
