this is really important. everyone wants to be the reliable hero for their comrades, but it's important to also be someone who your comrades want to help, too.
I am constantly reminded that it is also really brave to receive help in these difficult moments. To be a vulnerable person, living in a society that very clearly wants to harm you, and to trust your family’s survival to strangers or people you hardly know is also really difficult.

There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that has to be divided between rich and poor. Billionaires mostly created new wealth—for instance, Taylor Swift made songs that many people were willing to pay for, and we're all better off for Brin and Page's Google. They didn't steal from you.
