Just Realize....
We live in a world where less than one percent, owns almost fifty percent of its wealth.
Where over 34,000 children die everyday from poverty and starvation.
Where over fifty percent of the world's population, lives on less than two dollars a day.
Think about that, and think about the last thing you complained about.
When the stars look down upon us at night they cry.
If you are reading this, you need to step back and say “My God, I am lucky.”
I know the words you are reading won't change you.
Presidents and leaders of nations aren't going to read this and solve the crisis.
These are just facts on a paper that you will forget ten minutes from now.
What did you do to deserve what you have?
Now, what did they do to deserve what they don't have?
We complain because we're broke and can't go party,
or because we can't have that $1000 purse or $400 cell phone.
We are a nation of over privileged, greed ridden royalty.
Most of us will never be thankful for eating at a fast food place,
or sleeping in a warm bed, or enjoying a favorite TV show.
You just need to realize that your problems aren't really problems at all.
You need to realize how incredibly lucky you really are.
Now you can go on about your day and forget that you ever read this.
