how is this a shower thought? and if it is why is it in quotes? and if it isnt and its actually a quote from someone else then where’s the name of the person that should follow the quote?
Doesn’t feel like a shower thought, looks like we’ll organised thought, like shower philosophy maybe. Because ripple effect part is just pure phylosophicla nonsense.
Ripple down fixing?
Fixin’omics?
Fix yourself up by your bootstrap.
I’ll be sure to let my father know he doesn’t need his doctors’ help for his cancer, he can just fix himself!
Fixing yourself often involves letting others help you to fix yourself.
While its definitely true that you need to take care of yourself before you can help others, this sounds like some Ayn Rand shit (advocating individualism over collectivism). The proletariat need to recognize the bourgeois are a shared enemy and that organization is necessary to defeat inequality.

Or, and hear me out- if you want to help people you can volunteer in your community which is understaffed and underfunded no matter where you are. (U.S and territories only, I’m sure that’s not the case in actual developed countries)
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a changeMichael Jackson
This is an excuse to never help anyone but yourself
This will be a generalization, so it doesn’t apply to all cases, but for the most part, you are far worse at helping others if you’re unable to help yourself. If you’re unable to show others as an example of the fruits of their labor of change, it will be far more difficult to lead them to helping themselves.
The goal is not to hand people fish. It’s to teach them. If you just give someone your help without teaching them, they will only become reliant on that help.
To put your own mask on first.
Those damn airline safety videos are so annoying.

I’ve been trying for some 10+ years now fixing myself. It made everything worse.
