30 FB Picture Challenge-Day 17-Something that made a huge impact on my life recently.
I believe that to impact, we should go directly to the source. As proven recently, tons of money went to help the Haitian people who lost family, homes, and numerous resources, but absolutely nothing is being done! Where did our money go??? To help those insufficient unnecessary so called "needs" of north american people. Those people who sat in chairs drinking coffees and answering phone calls that were simply dead ends! Those phone calls that didn't help Haiti what-so-ever! Those people who didn't experience a life-threatening earthquake! Our money went to people who wanted to make their pockets heavier; it went to people who didn't see their families crushed; those people who don't know what it feels like to lose numerous limbs and see the blood of loved ones shed violently.
I'm tired of everyone making money their utmost desire!
The riches we should want are not dollar signs, bling, and pimped up cars! Those material items only last a little while. We should make happiness, love, and fulfilment our desire!
We need to take back our world and work together to help the less fortunate.
We need to be the change.
We need to step up...and actually do something!

Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI've always been particularly inspired by TOMS shoes, and Common Threadz. I'd love to start something like that to help others.
I'm planning on going into business and whatever I end up doing, I know I need to have a giving aspect to it.
Many people are so focused on themselves. It's refreshing to see someone put the light on the people who really need help.
Omgsh Athosss!!!! That's so cool :) I know you'd be very successful in that :)
ReplyDeleteWhat upset me about Haiti and such, is that sooo much money went to National Charity Foundations/Funds er whatever, and yet Haiti is still in pretty much the same condition as last year. Terrible, eh?
