So I gave blood today, yay, think well of me, or don’t. What’s important is that you think to do so yourself. You are potentially saving lives, and whatever you are you are making people’s lives earlier.
But I shouldn’t preach as if I’m above you, I only gave blood because it was made incredibly easy. I got a notification that people were coming into town to take blood, I walked over, filled in a form, lied down followed instructions, and had my blood taken.
But would I have done so had I needed to travel further? If I had to keep in mind the last time I had given blood if it wasn’t so easy. And when I think to myself, I really don’t know.
I like to think I would, but at the very least I needed the reminder.
I could put it into my calendar. And maybe there is another way that people can let you know when blood is needed, or maybe even when blood is needed near you. If there were an app you could download, maybe more people would do so. Be a good person, do the right thing, sometimes I feel people would act if only they were reminded. Or told that they could. It’s far easier to do the right thing when you know what the right thing is, and when the options are to suffer a little pain and lose an hour of your day in order to help the sick and needy. Of course, I would do so, the option must simply be presented.
But I have failed to complete my following arguements. So my only question for you is Why not?
