Problem No. 2

No one is Accountable.

One of the problems within the concept of Charities and Philanthropy is that in essence, there is no one that takes responsibility and stand accountable for the Problem. In my Previous Blog, I showed that the main problem with Charity and Philanthropy is that it blinds humanity from looking into the core/root/source of the problem and accordingly, taking or walking the approach that would eradicate the problem.

In shifting the Responsibility for Poverty for instance, to the Private corporations, instead of implanting a world wide governmental solution, all we are doing is perpetuating the gap and giving the Governments excuse to not address the point and take responsibility for the problems on earth.

Within that context, there is no Encompassing solutions but individual charities that touches the lives of a few in comparison to the amount of people that require a massive solution. In that, even with Charities, not everyone are being Equally supported and protected. 

On the Individual Level, giving to Charity or not having the means to give to charity but knowing that there are people out there that are giving to charity, creates the illusions that the problems are taken cared for without looking in common sense at the point that if the problems were taken cared for, poverty for instance would cease to exists. Therefor, having Charities in place, allows us to abdicate our responsibility as human beings in this world, to investigate and find solution that would not only solve the problem but also, prevent the current condition from ever manifesting again. Here, we utilize Hope and Powerlessness as our justifications to not stand up as if we completely gave up and decided that a change is impossible.

In other words, having charities in place, both the Governments and the Individuals abdicate the responsibility towards those who are dependent on Charities to exists at the moment. We do not confirm and check out that the goods and the aid that were supposed to reach their 'target' got to its destination; we do not check and confirm that the 'target' of charity is now having the basic ability to sustain a dignified life. As far as we concern, we did our part, we either donated our share or would have donated our share if we would financially able to and within that, we believe that we have done enough while meanwhile 7 billion people in this world are in the worsen condition ever existed on earth.

Saying that, what I see is that Charities in essence are Reactions, a distractions, from facing the core/root/source of the problem and therefor abdicate our responsibility as the creators of the problems instead of coming together and walk the Correction process that would End the Atrocities in this world.

Here, for further context, I suggest reading through the series - The Correction Process and the Desteni Message.

Will continue in my next blog in showing another problem we haven't considered before.

Charity and Activism - why is it a Capitalistic Scheme - Part 1 - Day 294

 

“When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.”

― Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty

 

Well Said, thank you Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus. From here, let's have a look at the Problems with Charity and Presents Solutions.

 

Problem No.1

Ignoring the Problem.

Most people cannot see any Problem within the entire Charity and Philanthropy Industry since 'Charity and Philanthropy' was promoted and advertised as Noble action, Altruism  and even Godly.

 

However, if we place Charity and Philanthropy under the Microscope, we will discover the real nitty gritty truth behind the Charity and Philanthropy Business/Industry that is quite concerning given that most people see Charity and Philanthropy as something so Good and Positive.

 

Thus, one of the most urgent problems to address is the Relationship between Charity/Philanthropy and Poverty. As  Muhammad Yunus Indicated, through Charity/Philanthropy, we Ignore that there is a problem that must be result with an effective solution. In a way, Charity/Philanthropy in it's core design is a brilliant brainwashed method to maintain the gap between those that 'have' and those that don't have since what Charity/Philanthropy result with is the perpetuation of Poverty instead of complete Eradication of Poverty.

 

This was already implied in 1932 by Reinhold Niebuhr, Moral Man and Immoral Society, 1932

"We have previously suggested that philanthropy combines genuine pity with the display of power and that the latter element explains why the powerful are more inclined to be generous than to grant social justice."

 

And Yet, 80 years after and still, humanity is blinded from seeing reality directly as what Niebuhr presented decades ago. To the Contrary there are quite a few people that would even define Niebuhr as Fascist and condemn him for daring to speak up and expose what we have all directly and indirectly accepted and allowed this world to evolve as to the extent of which Humanity is deliberately Blinded from seeing the Fundamental Inequality that is rooted in the structure and values of our global society. Obviously, Charity and Philanthropy is nothing but a convenient patch up  for us to ignore the real reason, source, origin and root of the Problems existing in this world.

Nevertheless, Charity/Philanthropy from that perspective is the Acceptance and Allowance of Inequality to Persists within the attempt to mitigate the Consequences the Majority of Humanity participating and facing today so that us, good maintain our 'Feeling Good' Experience.

 

It is evidence the none of us actually understand the reason, source, origin and root of the Problems because if we had, our social behaviour would be totally different and we would stop Reacting to the Problems but rather, apply the correction required and Prevent the Problem from reoccurring again.

 

In my next blog, I will continue Identifying the Problems with regards to Charity and Philanthropy so that eventually, we could start consider practical solutions that would result with the outcome that is best for all.
