My family actually gives away between $50 and $100 of food a week that I find, that is thrown away by stores. So you can't really accuse me of waste (we also eat a lot of it ourselves). Getting the food involves a lot of climbing into dumpsters, which is one of the many reasons I need to wear clothing that lets me move around.
I never said about you. I said about the people around me. Look, you can be responsible voluntarily. But, the freedom that you mention, the excuse people use to be "irresponsible" towards the society. So just don't think of your behaviour, your perfectness etc.
Wrong. What I am saying is be a example to people. Islam says "As a muslim, Fix yourselves first and you can fix the society." If you are good to them, they will feel ashamed of their laziness. Btw, there are genuine people who suffer by selfishness of your leaders. Don't call the children who die in Africa lazy.It's a good idea if done voluntarily, but an extremely bad one, if forced. It's too likely to be taken advantage of by dishonest, lazy, and criminal people.
Again, you don't have the sense of responsibility. You can't expect all the people to have control. That is science. All people have different traits. Not the same. That is how they have been created. Fix yourselves, they will get fixed.I disagree, if a person has control over themselves, how other people dress will not make them lose control. Unless, that is secretly what they actually want to do, and are looking for an excuse to do so. If a person is not able to control themselves, then they aren't a sane adult, and they need to be locked up in an insane asylum, or otherwise need a keeper.
Agree, but you should strive to fix it. Atleast a step. You cant expect all people to be the same. That is why hijab is a responsibility.A person's behavior is their own individual responsibility.
Stupidness in your perspective. Ask them, they will call you stupid. I know you will say I don't care. Assume, men and women of the whole world become stupid, will it be still their problem? Will you tell your ideas to the walls? You don't think deep enough.You assume that I'm interested in the opinions of stupid people, or in making them listen to me faster. I'm not. As I said, I wouldn't share my food with them. They had the same information available to them regarding the camping trip we were going on as I did. They chose not to utilize that information with their minds. Their problem, not mine.
I disagree very strongly with that. I was smart enough to bring enough food on the trip for myself, for 2 weeks. I see no reason why I should have shared that food with others. So we could all starve together? So what happens the next time, if I starve myself to death for the benefit of other people? Doing so won't have made them any smarter, and they will just do something else stupid in the future and then die, because I won't be there to save them. So I will have died for nothing, basically. What's the point of that?
And again, this whole idea benefits the lazy and the criminal, at the expense of the honest and hard-working.
That is what I mean by setting an example. If you give them food today, maybe next time, they will reciprocate the same. They will help you when you are in hardship because you were kind. Some people have genuine reasons. Don't label everybody lazy. People have hearts.
Again, you don't think deep enough. Be an example. Fix yourself.
One more thing, don't think this as advice to you. I would say the same to those stupid men who discussed about how you look. If they had a sense of responsibility and lowered their gaze- I would appreciate that. Both men and women should be responsible.
