With that said, during the course of your era as a “struggling writer,” I have given you (via PayPal) something to the tune of $30, give or take. Sometimes, Tao, I didn’t even ask for anything in return. No books. No “art.” No nothing. Even though at the time, and still today, $30 meant and still means a lot to me. So while the sum may seem like a modest one, if you knew my current economic standing in society (or lack thereof), you might appreciate the sentiment behind the gesture even more, perhaps even tearing up in the process, thinking of how little I had to give and yet I gave it, my little crumbs, my piddling savings, and yet I still managed to fork over some dough for you with brittle hands made for giving. <br /><br />Well, now that you are a rich ass mother fucker, I was hoping that maybe you could PayPal $25 to justinrossmorris at gmail dot com. <br /><br />Of course, don’t get me wrong, I never gave you that money with the intent of asking for it back. No, I did it to support your work, period. The act itself was deontological in nature, not utilitarian by any means. That is to say, my intentions were pure. And I had no ulterior motives. Immanuel Kant himself would have been proud. <br /><br />However, I’m at point much like your past self where I’m trying to make it as a writer and having a hard time doing it while trying to support myself financially. In fact, this month I will be $25 short for rent. You can empathize with my situation, I’m sure. And I’m also sure you know that how far your $25 will go: it will a) reduce suffering in the lives of at least 10 different people, if only tangentially, because if they knew how desperate I was and ended up being late in paying my rent it would cause them significant grief; b) make my landlords happy; and c) demonstrate your kinship and everlasting solidarity with writers less fortunate than yourself.<br /><br />I thank you in advance for your donation, and will, no doubt, pay you back at some undisclosed point in the future. <br /><br />Yours, <br />JustinJ.R.
