what if?
what if this was your neighbour?...
oh wait! It is.
I am currently putting a world relief magazine together, and while perusing the stockpile of photos for my use, I stumbled across these. It made my heart sick. It made my stomache turn. And I could not keep it to myself.
Why is it that we are so conditioned to seeing these images that they no longer stir us to action? They make us sick, but the thought is soon distracted by a grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte - no whip, the scores of last nites hockey game, and the question of whether Jennifer Anniston and John Mayer are actually dating.
Yesterday's hot topic on the radio while I was at the gym was the alarming decrease in people frequenting strip clubs...something attributed to high speed internet and cheap patrons. 22,000 die in Burma and we don't even bat an eyelash...but the world is coming to an end when live porn stars are in short supply.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US PEOPLE?!!!
The only thing more disturbing than these photos right now, is the apathy of people who have been gifted with the opportunity and priviledge of education and economy, have more than enough, and know better...yet can't see beyond themselves.
This isn't a call to Africa, folks...it's a call to open your eyes.
To have a heart...
To see people...
