Does it matter who it’s sponsored by if it resonates with you and helps you explore a point of view? Classic inceptionism.

I sent my dying grandmother flowers recently. Did I do it because I could use money to assuage my guilt or did I do it because it was a nice thing to do? Guess what — whether I’m a manipulative sack of shit who refuses to SEE my family in grief situations or someone who’s moved just far away enough that the drive doesn’t merit the discomfort, she, an 89 year old with kidney failure and dementia, can still look at a bouquet of sunflowers and have her spirit rise up.

I am not sure intent matters so much as impact these days. Certainly, when it comes to some things, I no longer care.

PS for those wondering: I see no mention of this article being sponsored content in any way, which leads me to conclude uhhsguy has made this conclusion based solely on the written content of my post. In which case, theoretically I could ask why the fuck he thinks I’m wasting my time on promoting other content for SEO when this post is a shit poor job of SEO AND I have my own content to effectively SEO If I really were any good at that shit — but why bother? It’s pretty clear uhhsguy never read the article I linked anyway.
