Sad World
There’s enough things in this world to break your heart a million times over. I mean, I turn on the TV and staring right back is one of those adorable little kids on the World Vision commercial that without sponsorship would die within a month, etc. And the worst part is that I’d want to sponsor him, but a few years ago my Grandma sponsored a child through World Vision and she got so much junk from them in the mail that she said she felt like every cent of the money she sent for the child was just coming back to her in advertisements. She said they could probably sponsor double the children if they used the money they spend on junk mail on the kids instead. While on that topic, it gets me thinking. My mind thinks in strange ways, I know. But… alright. I’m typing right now on a keyboard that cost roughly one-hundred dollars. To the left of me is a bunch of old computer games and to the right of me is my brother, who I’ve never had to worry about dying of starvation at any time. I can go through my possessions one by one, and some of them I haven’t used in years. And then it just makes me sick how much crap I own and take for granted while somewhere in this world, a child died just now because he hasn’t eaten anything for days because his family has nothing. That’s what breaks my heart.
