In John Lennon's song "Imagine" he sings about a world I dream of no violence,no suffering.I understand that when people struggle it makes them more appreciative but sometimes it's too much.Just think about little girls in Cambodia being put into sex slavery,poverty in Africa and diseases that spread.It is too much to handle,I tried to imagine as much as I can,to put myself in their shoes but I can't.I can blog about how I'm not feeling that great about my life and how I love winter and can't really enjoy it,but in comparison to those problems,real problems mine don't only seem trivial they seem silly.Most people watch the news or a talk show and see news pieces on the suffering countries,myself included,they say "that's terrible" and then go about their lives but I'm getting tired of it.I'm getting to the point where I want to go to those countries and physically help every single person that needs food,shelter,medicine,clothing and education.It's unfathomable to me that as I'm writing this blog there are starving children that don't even have electricity,some don't even have a floor and sleep on dirt.It's not right that things that I consider necessities are very much luxuries to them.The reason why I'm so,what's the word,I guess angry is because I did put in terms that made me better empathize with then,that was thinking of my little brothers being in the position,thinking of what if I had a daughter and some one just came into my unprotected living area and took her and sold her into a sex trade,I would fight with every inch of my life to get her back.When I thought of it like that I was overcome with this strong feeling of hopelessness,then anger,then wanting to act.I don't believe in only looking out for yourself I truly believe in everyone helping eachother as much as we can,but there's only so much I can do and also to day is world aids day,another reason why I;m writing this blog,that epidemic is something that affects people in America aswell as the rest of the world,god all these problems I wish I could single handedly fix.I wish it was that easy the one girl could change the world,maybe she can one day soon.
