Over here in Britain we have this show called “The Secret Millionaire” where someone with an immense amount of fortune goes to a neighbourhood that is anguished by poverty. And long story short they have an epiphany and realise that people are all the same, and you meet some of the greatest of people in the worst of situations. And thus invest money into bettering said people’s situations.
Anyway,
I hardly ever watch the show because it’s the same format just a different name every week. But this week they were in Peckham, which is kind of close to me, but it’s somewhere I have lots of cousins and I often refrain from seeing them because of the bad reputation it has. But the energy and community spirit is so vibrant I sometimes get cravings just to be around that energy you know?
I would like to aspire to be one of those people. I mean I don’t want to go so far as being successful that I become out of touch with my local society.
I think that I would like to share my success with those who haven’t been in an as fortunate position as I have been in.
Giving money to charity, helping volunteer I think I would like to be a part of that
