the world hurts

i don't know what it is, but i cannot stop feeling the pain of what we, as humans, are doing to our planet.

why are we buying our kids toy after toy, brand name after brand name, when there are children who've never seen a toy, might only have one shirt, one pair of pants, no shoes. they are starving. and we are killing them because we are not helping. if you do nothing, there will be nothing.

Albert Einstein said "Man is here for the sake of other men."

we need to help.

christmas is not about toys or what dish you're going to bring to dinner, its about love. this year i'm struggling with money. constant eviction notices, my car respossessed, enough food for only my little boys to eat. but even THAT is more than a lot of people have. i have a job, yes, i have friends and family that help, and i have the ability to help my fellow man.

i'm going to buy one gift this year. i'm going to save a child.
