Good Day, All!
This, too, is only a part of the preface which I was trying to omit. Because my preface to my blog will continue for some more posts until I say I am entering the main context of the blog. The term victims of circumstances what we are, as the link shows, came to my notice as the song by Barclay James Harvest. But I can not really agree that we are victims, but we are only the product of the circumstances. When we feel that we are down or hurt in a way, we feel that we are victims. But even in those situations, we will have enough strength left in us not to be felt as hurt beyond repair. In my case, I am also a victim now because it is not a good practice to go out and seek alms in exchange for something I write in my society. They won't mind if I publish all I write for royalty, then it would be perfect. But to me, whatever I write, I acquired on the way, maybe without much effort, or as a part of what I did like reading and listening to songs or watching movies which definitely were enjoyed by me. And now I do not know how to put a price tag on it, and by seeking alms, I find that only the ones who can spare some money need to pay, and I will be leaving behind whatever I write for all to read. And once I get enough to sustain myself for a period, I can always stop collecting because I am against amassing wealth.
This is for everyone who reads my blog to know that I was always a patron to many to a short term effect, and even now, at this stage, also is. I am quite sympathetic to people on the street, but most of the time, I could only pay out some alms to them, depending on what I can afford. I don't mean to compare myself to a beggar, but it really is not much different. A classic case I can remember is that, in 1996, when the ship "State of Tripura" a tramp general cargo ship, on which I was working, reached the port of Manchester of UK and I went ashore to see the sights. And there on the street side, one band was singing Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel, and I liked their performance very much and paid five pounds to them, which was too much money for me at that time. I meant to say that paying alms or seeking alms is allowed for me. So I request that If you like whatever I write and feel compassionate and benevolent enough, please help me out by going to my Patreon page and donating some small change to me. (Sorry! Thanks to India I got my job back and I am not seeking alms anymore and I removed that post too from this blog)
The basic reason for writing this post was to highlight my circumstances. Great thanks to my parents, and it definitely includes all. But then need to tell separately: I have to thank all my relatives and friends, colleagues, and regions of society I lived in or passed through.
Thanks and Best Regards,
George A P.
