Really, really like that. And he’s so RIGHT ON! I feel today we are so used to getting everything handed to us, with little or no effort on our part — that we take SO MUCH for granted.
People are constantly complaining “how bad” things are. Well let me tell you — we are NOT standing in line for bread JUST TO SURVIVE like during the depression.
Sure, there are people who are struggling to put food on the table. But let me tell you, a lot of them have cable tv and cell phones. Um, which is more important — tv, cell phone or food??
Thanks Cindy for this VERY TRUE picture of our lives today. Thanks for sharing!
Right on!
I spent 2 weeks in India where you see a woman walking 2 hours to get water.
After that, you stop bitching because your hot water is not hot enough
the water story is probably the most “disclosable” one
I just left a meeting with a non-profit organization that supports a school in one of the poorest sections of Senegal. I heard stories of children who walk hours to and from school for the priveledge of getting an education and of a young girl who, on her return from one such walk, arrived in her village to see the entire thing engulfed in flames. She was the only survivor. It helped me put life in perspective. What seems bad for us looks like the lap of luxury to others!
