Every time we add a new stop, we always ask ourselves, is whether this supports our community. That is always a question that unfortunately many people do not ask themselves. We see that on many levels. When people recommend budgets that take away help to people who need it most. Programs like Wheels on Meals help the very people who need it most. These are people who would otherwise starve without the help.
The obvious question is how someone can propose such a thing and then claim to have a strange kind of moral superiority. Our best guess is that some people are so separated from others that when someone else gets hurt that are either unable or unwilling to empathize with others. For some reason, in the earlier part of their life, they did not have contact with others who did not have as much as they did financially others in earlier in their life. Or, they have some have gotten so caught in the paperwork on their jobs that they have forgotten that people are affected by their actions.
When we are running the Best San Francisco Food Tours we always ask ourselves how what we are doing affects others. As we see our communities on a daily basis, that keeps us from being disconnected from seeing effect of what we do. Perhaps that is the solution. Take actions in one’s life that keep one connected with their community.
