i don't understand this place. children dying of hunger, homeless babies, armless and legless parents- the result of warring nations what the fuck. no one reads this, but if you do- go to this website : http://www.jamesnachtwey.com/ look at the pictures. i don't get it. nothing is good enough. this planet is a mess. i thank god that i don't live in ethiopia, somalia, russia, el salvador or any country that ends in 'astan.' but what does it take to get people like me- who spend countless hours worrying about getting to work on time, finishing that term paper or trying to figure out how my iPod should work- to do something completely basic to the needs of the suffering around us? i wish i knew- no. i wish i had the heart to do what i should. to get rid of all these stupid luxuries and dedicate some thought towards helping those in need, here in the US and abroad. there is so much beauty to be seen.
