Infos

For the Good of All and to the Harm of None is a nonfiction writing that proposes viewing the world through a philanthropic lens and what that could mean for humanity. Using the definition of philanthropy as engaging in endeavors that advance the well-being of humanity, we must address the idea of what constitutes humanity in the face of the social construct of race. Until the thought process of every human being begins with the identification that we are all human beings first and we are affiliated with our tribe or ethnic heritages second, there will always be oppression and inequities among us.The idea of existentialism compels us to look at our lives through the lens of being mortals in that one day we will die and leave this earth. Within this context, a pressing question becomes since one day I will leave this planet, what do I believe happens after I leave the planet? How would I be remembered, if I am remembered at all? The answers to this question give us a reason and purpose or intention with regard to how we live. Or in the absence of all of the above, maybe we live reckless, unintentional lives because what does anything really mean? At the end of the day, examining your life choices from the perspective that one day it ends can be incentive enough to change how you live and how you/we treat one another as human beings.
