Would you ever Volunteer? Give to Charity?

As fellow Americans, we tend to gravitate towards the capitalistic & monetary lifestyle. In our constant working efforts to "keep up with the Jones'" we purchase new cars, homes, clothes, jewelry, bikes, boats, and more. All in thoughts, this is what life is about. We hope to make our lives happier, while presenting a healthy image. I too, am very guilty of this culture and enjoy working and earning money. Don't you? Although there was a previous time period where I did live off of unemployment checks in NYC for 1.5 years.. That was a unique and surprisingly superb period of my life too actually. Ask me, I'll tell ya about it.
Moving along and forward to our subject....
So once all of this wealth, success, and more is achieved, what is the more legit, honest, integrity filled way to manage our time?
Are you OPEN MINDFUL to Charity? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to VOLUNTEERING?
Currently I do not, but should we? Do you? Any suggestions or organizations for me? What is your favorite non-profit organizations and why? Does charitable work make you a better person and soul? Is charity just for social networking or tax write offs?
Whether we're flush, in the chips, or just getting by, I suggest, we as a society remain OPEN MINDFUL to charities, non-profits, and volunteering for just causes we feel improve the earth and society!

If you are serious about volunteering, I would suggest Mobile Loaves and Fishes.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

Image
DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
