I hate when people get caught up on petty shit. starving people in africa, what the flerp is a higgs boson, is there a god, are we alone, yet most people get caught up in bickering and fussing and fighting about the stupidest things, it's extremely embarrassing to be a member of the same species as someone who wants to nitpick about every little thing you do, rather than worry about stuff that actually matters.
Isn't your post, in and of itself, being upset over petty shit?
Ooh, paradox! I
love paradoxes!
Also, what are you doing about ending world hunger? Because I've found that 99% of people who throw around the "starving people in Africa" line haven't actually done anything about it.
Kinda true, but many people wonder on the
how of helping people when they're far away from places like Africa; then again, they're so used to "not helping people" that, even when they get the chance, they wouldn't, thus hoping someone more capable does it for them. I part of the problem lies in the sense that a butterfly simply can't create a hurricane, and any efforts on their part will be negligible and hopeless. This feeling of helplessness overwhelms them, and they instead throw that feeling away so they can focus on the "now", the practical ways they can take actions -- either for themselves or someone else.
Then again, while I'm unable to help anyone at Africa, I try and do my best to weed out the best of those in poverty here in my country, subsequently educating them or giving them the means to forge their own destiny. I don't have the money to feed someone, but the least I can do is teach them how to fish.
That reminds me (I know it isn't appropriate for this thread, but since we're on the topic...), Ghungroo has picked up Devanagari quite fast! She still abhors English to the core, but hell, at least she's learned how to read. Now I'm looking forward on how this little thing changes the world with her pen.
