Cubicle Conundrum - Day 22

Q: Guess what? I joined a charitable organization.

N: Right.

Q: No, seriously.

N: Riiight.



Q: Yeah. We provide self help to the downtrodden.

N: So you PROVIDE self help? That doesn’t even make sense.

Q: It does too.

N: Okay what do you do?



Q: We collect funding from those who can afford to spare us some and then run our weekly awareness sessions to educate the less fortunate about how they have unknowingly had complete control of their lives all along and merely lacked the will power to change the course of their lives.

N: Oh?

Q: Yep. Isn’t it great?

N: Let me get this straight..

Q: Oh boy. Here it comes.



N: So you collect money from the rich, to tell some poor people that their unfortunate current position is because of their own individual actions and nothing else? Therefore robbing them of any sense of comfort they might harbor using the old ‘life screwed me over’ argument? Which might, in turn, put them in an even frailer state of mind than that which currently exists? In essence, you collect money to pull the carpet out from under feet of some poor, unsuspecting vulnerable human beings?

Q: ….

N: ….



Q: I don’t know why I even mentioned it to you.

N: You’re welcome.
