Heres my take on that. I agree with you saying it would be stupid to scam out some quick cash and ruin the great reputation this forum has. I think there is a different tone to this whole situation as well that to me feels more real. You know the internet is a big environment and so with that there will always be scams but there is still more good than bad in this world. Everyone pays karma toll. I will be donating tomorrow and wish a speedy recovery.
Ps. I wanted to add in a little tid bit of visualization that helps me recover when I start getting the ill feelings.
First of all get still weather its sitting or laying down. Then slowly start to run through everything that your ego is trying to say. The ADD in everyone will start to kick in here. Now it is important not to follow the thoughts into extreme detail just touch on them and now start to clear your mind. This can be done by telling yourself focus....focus now silence your ego.....slience it right down. silence everything and just be. This is easy if you want it to be. Now we are getting to be real still like a lake with no ripples just still and there. Now you want to start to acknowledge the pain in your body and focus on your body creating armies of white blood cells. At this point I start to refer my mind to a battle ground with 2 sides one side white cloaks and on the other black cloaks. Now as im focusing on that, I can feel my brain firing chemical reactions to create this big army that is assembling on this battle field with me and the virus/bacteria. Now I am starting to see that there is way more of us the white cloaks assembling then the black cloaks. I start to think of how badly we all want this bacteria out of our body and how there is no way that we can loose. I run through thoughts of how great im gonna feel after we kick their ass. I can feel my brains activity really kicking up here because we are all getting excited to destroy every bit of this virus.....Now imagine that the flames are lit on one side seconds later on the other all of those white cloaks ready to go and attack start screaming on top of there lungs and everyone from both sides starts to run towards each other as fast as they can.........
I leave it there finish your own battle. Your mind is stronger than you think. If you don't believe that healing any disease mentally is possible thats cool do what you do.
I don`t think there is more good then bad stuff in the online world. most of the intenet is build for one purpose, financial profit.
who in their right mind wants to pay for servers and put energy in a site just for fun? those people are out there for sure, but most of the internet is build for advertising and building sales funnels. how often do you find a site that really has no intention to make money or at least generate enough to pay for oporational costs?
the people who do it just for fun start with blogging as a hobby, but don`t know anything about seo.. as a result they wont get any traffic and if nobody will read their shit they will stop doing what they are doing because its useless.
the internet has become this big because there is money to be made on a lot of levels.
the seller of a product makes money, his affiliate makes money, the server provider to the affiliate will make money, the affiliates of the server provider will make money of the affiliate etc etc.
without commercial interests the internet would still be some obscure thing only nerds and college students knew about. if nobody made money of the internet, only schools and educational university`s would use it. like it was back in '95..
but while i know the entire internet revolves about funneling money, that still doesn't mean everything on the internet is there to scam me out of my money.
there still are good people out there. i'm involved in some shady stuff myself, i won`t deny it, but i never scam innocent people out of their hard earned money they have to work hard for at their misserable dayjob.
and i like to believe there still are more people aout there who think just like me. and i have been around here long enough to get a feel for some people on this board.
i know you can`t be sure about people online until you meet them in real life, but i think i still need to be able to have a little thrust in people who are not affraid to put out a helping hand to others who need help..
