in this day and age it's not all that hard to find something to complain about..from the stupidity of Mr Bush and his government too the price of gas, we north americans have lots of inconsequential things that we get to bitch and moan about. I sit here watching the snow fall, seeing it slowly hide all the imperfections of my lawn.And I wonder, what would it take to bring everyone in this world to the same even playing field. What would it take? I would willingly give up my car, t.v. computer, hell even most of my house, to help someone. Now I know some people send money to charities to help the poor peoples in other countries...but in all honesty how much of that money actually gets to these people. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated at how extremely broken our world is. For all our modern toys and experience we still haven't seemed to learn the most basic truth...which is this. "Love thy neighbor as thyself" Now im no christian...im not really a part of any organized religion (though i find they all have some good points) But that one rule should always be foremost in our minds. Instead of buying yourself the newest latest gadget that will make you temporarily happy, look around you...maybe buy that bum you see begging for change everyday a sandwhich, do something nice for a friend or someone you don't even know. and this time. don't expect anything in return. just give for the sake of knowing that it helps....I know I've kinda jumped around a bit, but the message is still there.
