My charity gives thousands a month in food donations to the homeless, yet go onto the internet and I'll find someone turning that into something bad

@Therealsteve "." because that is the part I have trouble excepting.
Ok. to simplify and maybe I should have done this earlier.
If a none profit's only source of income is from "Donations" not a product or service that is paid for by consumers and there fore yields a profit, then I think it feels a bit off to pay your CEO such a prime wage.
It would seem like the help would be closer to modest salary rather than a competitive one.

I do have to say I feel like I am not saying something right that is causing you to have these questions.
Not complaining just a thought.

@Dainbramadge None of what I said was a question. There was not a single question mark there. I have no questions. I have ran both private and charitable organisations. It is very clear as to why CEOs of charities have a high wage and I have explained why. You don't seem to understand, or object to the idea on emotional grounds, and are trying to flip this conversation on its head into me somehow questioning what you said and not understanding.

I notice the wording of your initial comment now. You wanted to know why a CEO for a charity is paid that much, but you wouldn't directly frame it as a question. This seems to be because -as you have just demonstrated now - you never planned on accepting the answers I gave.

You object to the idea regardless of answer given, and want to try to frame it as if it is actually me having things explained by you, because of course the idea of CEOs getting that much is wrong, therefore I'm wrong, and so I've naturally had to come to you for help understanding.

Nice try.

@Therealsteve Dang Steve. Get your knickers out of a knot.
Why are you getting so tense on this subject?
Also, I love how you are trying to dissect what and how I word stuff to find deeper meaning.
I'll make it easy for you. Because that is what it seems like you so desperately need me to do for you. LOL See what I did there? It's called a joke so don't get all excited.
I say exactly what I mean. Some times a bit convoluted but mostly just straight shooting.

So any way, all joking aside for a sec., I just realized why you are so invested in damning me for questioning a "none profits" financial practices. When you said, wrote, "MY" charity, I didn't realize you were on the inside of the working of the said charity I thought it meant a charity you donate to.

I never demonized the CEOs or them that pay them. All I tried to make out was that it seems a bit off to me.
Let's put the shoe on the other foot for a second.
How could i have better made that statement?

@Zaphod42 Society is absolutely endemic with this attitude of "other people have done more than me...and that makes THEM the immoral one". It is the laziness and selfishness that can characterize humans, which many have tried to intellectualize with social theories, and others just downright twist whatever a successful person does to attain the resources needed to help someone, as bad.

I informed someone that I have a limited amount of time on earth to carry out all the help I wish to give society, and so I am very selective of who I spend time with and what I spend that time doing. I spend time only with those who want the best for me and those who have the means to in some way help me. Which is an absolute fundamental of creating anything. If your intentions are to help people, then wanting to spend time with someone who wishes me the best in that and wants to help means more people will be helped.

But that's "narcissistic". Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very rare disorder and has no application with how most people use that term.

@Zaphod42 And yes, when it comes to the successful. They are happy to get handouts from them, but as soon as they say "you could do this to help yourself", or "have you considered looking at this thing in another way", they get angry.

@jshm2 Oh, she was making me out to be a bad person for running the charity, for my approach of "I want to help a lot of people with the limited time I have, and so I spend my time only with people who can help me provide services for others".

@jshm2 Lol, I just made a post lambasting people who throw the term "narcissist" around. Have a read.
