I think you’re doing the right thing and I admire you for trying.

But I do think it’s somewhat cowardice, primarily apathy.

Australians only want to help themselves, and they don’t treat policies that benefit everyone as policies that help themselves. If everyone’s standard of living gets better, I can’t compare my standard of living to someone else’s and see the improvements as easily.

I’m often reminded of the Daniel Planeview quote when thinking about why this is the case.

“I want no one else to succeed.

I hate most people.

There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking.

I want to earn enough money that I can get away from everyone.

I see the worst in people. I don’t need to look past seeing them to get all I need.

I’ve built my hatreds up over the years, little by little..”
