Why do people have to suffer? And no, I'm not talking about me here, because that's nothing compared to some people. I'm talking about people in LEDCs or whatever they are, or people who are in the middle of a warzone or something. People who actually SUFFER. It isn't fair, and whats worse is that we as a human race, we don't do anything. My mum once told me off for giving just 40p to charity, as if that were a waste of money. We don't share enough. Sure enough, England's in an 'economical crisis'. THERE ARE WORSE SITUATIONS WE COULD BE IN. People complain because they can't get a job. SOME CHILDREN CAN'T GET AN EDUCATION. People complain about being bored. WHAT'S THAT COMPARED TO SOME PEOPLE'S LIVES?
I hate that people suffer like that. It breaks my heart every time I see something like that. Those adverts on TV, telling you to donate to save the starving African children... that breaks my heart. It all does.
It breaks my heart to know I've never really done anything to help them - and I wish I had, and I wish I would, but I haven't. I'VE NEVER HELPED THEM.
Don't worry about donating to those Sally Struthers things. Most of the money just goes to administrative costs anyway. I'm sorry kids are starving in Africa too, but there isn't much we can do to stop that. I have three kids in my own house to feed, and although they aren't starving, I certainly want to provide supper.
