A very distressing thing about the current world is all the constant, socially-approved .

Everything I watch or read has routine begging. In a world of "the is 'free'" the cost is reducing everyone who entertains or informs you into a beggar.

I have a account, and I do support some people, but there is so much begging -- and so many hands out for cash! -- that it is overwhelming.

What is all of this saying about who we are? There has to be a way to do better.

Yes, for the record, I do contemplate if back in December 2015 if I would have been better off #begging on Twitter that I would pay $13.13 for every #Retweet - $180,000 total - (13 per hour cut) on the topic of #PeterPomerantsev 2014 #RickRoderick 1993

"So, if I am cute enough, may I get some of the leafy stuff???"

I don't think Indy is overly enthusiastic about "healthy" foods, but a snack is a snack.

A dog lays his head on the arm of a human. The human is looking at a phone, but the dog is begging for some salad.
