To better yourself is free. To help others do so is not.
Here is why you might choose to donate.
In an ideal world, tasks of great value and merit, and principles of truth and wisdom would rise to the top by virtue of their beauty and importance.
Unfortunately we are here concerned with reality, in which the above situation does not exist. You see, money makes the world go round. Money, not beauty nor importance, is how things get done. Those who have it, have the power of influence. This is not bad, or sad, or undesirable on its own. This is just reality. The reality we have chosen to create. If we are not content with our reality, we have the power to be thoughtful consumers, responsible citizens, and informed decision-makers and create a new one. But it always starts with you, freely choosing to give your support where you believe it is best used.
We do not charge for any of our services, because we do not believe that wisdom and truth should be, or even can be, a business. We have nothing to give you, nothing to sell. It is you that does the work of reflection and introspection. You do the work, you get the prize. No middle men. What we are is a giver of awareness, an alarm clock, to awaken our readers to themselves.
We ask you think of the value you have received from this website. Indeed, if you are like us, you believe the wisdom we have to offer is one of the only things of true value to you. People spend thousands of dollars every year on things they have no use for, and yet when something truly valuable is provided it comes free. We are not complaining about this fact. This is a wonderful thing. It means that to be a good, informed, and self aware person does not cost a penny. It means those with money can rule the world, but never our minds or hearts, unless in our lack of awareness of our own power we choose to let them. However it also means that any effort like ours to promote awareness of this profound truth will struggle for influence and attention.
If you like what we do, choose to spend your money here instead of on an overpriced latte or new set of clothes. Each of us builds the future every day with our wallets. We determine who will have power, and who will have influence when we choose to give away our money to them. If you believe our ideas are worth sharing, your money will go directly into helping to share them and no where else. Every last bit will be used to promote the site and work towards creating more content.
You have the power to do this, not us. These ideas are everyone's, not ours. This website will exist precisely as long as there are those like us out there who contribute to its existence and not a moment longer.
We are not guilt tripping you, begging you, or appealing to your emotions to get you to donate. We are not here to please, or to say please. We are treating you like adults. We are simply calling to attention the outcomes of your actions, which are governed by your own free choice. Now, you have the information you need to know whether donating is right for you. Choose.
Thank You.
