Wont you come out to play?
Today i have work. tonnes of work. SSpt Biblio not done. genomic biology worksheet isnt done (and isnt likely to be done soon either) and physics remains uncharted teritory.hmm.
anyways today i shall blog about.....poverty.(guess pranab bardan had an effect upon me after all.)
i am a person who is totally affected by most things. i cry when i watch films of african states that are underprivilaged. I cannot see pain and know that i can do nothing.
The worst part of this whole cruel circle is that those who suffer are children. Most children are lucky to be our age. even luckier to survive to adulthood. especially without aids. The worst part of the whole process: aids was spread by medical malpractice. the usage of the same non-sterile needle everyday was the cause of this mass distruction. Those whom we respect and reviere as saviours are the very people who condemed these poor people to this horrible fate worse then death. imagine living knowing that every day that you awake to see the sunrise is a mere stroke of luck. imagine being a hair's breath away from death constantly. think about it long and hard. and you will never again hesitate from donating those two bucks to a charity.
sigh. so depressing. i wish i could do something. i know that wenever im old enough to finance it i shall sponsor as many children as i can affoard. its $30 per month at world vision and its really very very helpful to the families of the children. you can see how they really struggle to dress up and look nice for their picture to be taken, and yet it doesnt hide the ribs that stick out, the malnourished sunken face and the bloated tummies of the children, most of whom arent even 5.
and so i shall end my post, in persuit of physics again. but i know i wont forget that child .
