Humanity Challenge

I have some really awesome friends.  I enjoy stalking them occasionally on Facebook.  I logged in tonight to get semi-caught up...

 3 Ice Bucket Challenge videos

(all agreeing to also donate $)

1 post from a ministry thanking a friend

for gathering friends to volunteer and serve others for a day

2 posts of people fostering stray animals

6 Anti-Ice Bucket Challenge posts

Let me remind myself...

I have really awesome friends...

Even the ones that posted anti-challenge stuff.

But I have to remind myself again, because I'm really confused now seeing more than a handful of posts bashing a good thing.

I get so annoyed with humanity when I see posts discouraging people from their good intentions.  If you don't want to dump ice water on your head, that's fine. Nobody cares.  But stop telling other people to stop doing it.

IT'S BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS.

There are a handful of charities that have benefited from it and plenty of laughs had by it.  When something starts with good intentions and results in an outpouring of support for multiple charities, quit discouraging it. 

You want to write a check silently?  That's awesome!!  And a great idea.  I absolutely 100% support you.  However, had the first guy to do the challenge done exactly that, only ONE charity would be $100 richer instead of multiple charities being thousands and/or millions richer. 

Don't knock a good thing.

Don't want to accept the ice bucket/cold water challenge?  No worries.  I have another one for you. I'm calling it the #HumanityChallenge. 

The rules are simple.

 

When somebody does a good thing with good intentions,

don't discourage it.

You don't have to join it.

You don't have to support it.

You don't even have to agree with it.

Just don't discourage it.

Have some humanity.
