I just saw a picture on Facebook that really cut me to the bone... On the top of the pic, it depicted a young, scrawny, most likely impoverished, Palestinian boy screaming. You could see genuine pain in his eyes. The caption said that he came home from school to discover that his family's home had been decimated by the war. Underneath it, it depicted a fat, most likely American, boy screaming with the same disturbing pain written on his face. The caption said that his mother confiscated his copy of Grand Theft Auto V...
It highly disturbs me to see this kind of self-entitlement in first-world people. The people who will curse and holler about their greasy hamburger not being cooked right.
America, what are you doing? We are the most privileged country on the planet, and we still tantrum for more. More. MORE. When will it be enough? When will you open your eyes, and see past your own nose? When will you open your ears, and hear the hurting of the world around you? Or will you awaken, at all?
I know, I'm not one to talk because of my past. I was the same way in my childhood. I'm still digging my way out of this pit called Consumerism. This insatiable hunger for more.
I'm killing this ravenous beast right NOW.
