I'm haunted...

In psychology today I found out I'm more of a Type A personality than Type B which means I'm more prone to stress related illnesses, but like anything it has it's flaws so hopefully I'll be fine.

Comic Relief is coming and in all fairness, I'm none too happy about it. I understand that they need the money, but doesn't everyone right now? Sure, they're worse off than everyone else but that's neither their fault or mine, it's their governments, so donating money seems kinda stupid if their government is just going to keep it for themselves. And the way they try to raise money sort of makes me not want to donate even more, they use guilt. I hate feeling guilty, and making someone donate out of guilt doesn't mean they're happy to be helping, their probably pissed off at being guilt tripped into it. I think you should only donate money if you care about the cause, the more you care the more you give. Like if I ever won the lottery I'd donate half to charity, splitting it between cancer research, helping people effected by rape - especially children - and towards some charity that tries to prevent homophobia. All three causes are important to me, and therefore I'd be glad to help, not made feel bad for not helping. Go ahead and donate if that's what makes you feel happy, just remember it's not for everyone and no one should be made to feel bad about not donating as you might not know their circumstances.
