I'm happy to announce the somehow, probably Jesus, my point of view on a few things today changed and my eyes were quite opened.
My heart is breaking for children and adults in Africa, Asia, Russia and our very own country that are starving and dying each day because they don't get any food.
Why in this world are actors, atheletes and musicians getting paid the way they do, while MILLIONS of people are dying because of their lack of food?!?!?! Why are our taxes sky-rocketing, while BILLIONS of children are starving?!!?
What a selfish, self-centered, self-serving country and people we have become. It's appalling.
Oh, how I would enjoy going up to Tiger Woods (as of September 2010, his net worth is $500 million dollars), Kobe Bryant (net worth - $140 million dollars), the band U2 ($195 mil), Lady GaGa ($90 mil) or any other such famous, overly paid person and slapping them in the face.
***I would like to point out that all celebrities are not selfish jerks, because there are many that do donate and help world hunger and such organizations.
I was on my way home from Hardee's tonight with my family, and was near tears while I thought about the families, and children who are starving and dying each day. Most of them don't eat even once or twice a week, while we're all sitting on our butts in the Land of Luxury!!!!!!!
I'll be honest with you; my family is quite dirt poor right now. Yet I'm willing to give my money to organizations that help feed and clothe people in third world countries.
How much would it hurt an athelete, or actoress, or business-men or you to donate just a little? just a smidgen of what you make to Convoy of Hope or the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team?
Wake up, America, and flipping do something about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
