Give a little bit, Give a little bit of your love to me

These days I am finding it hard to not just explode on people, maybe I am in the wrong but I know what I am seeing and it is not good, even in the slightest. Is there no social conscious anymore? Do people just not care, or is it just the people in my life? Seems as if that is so, seems the people in my direct line of sight on a daily basis and the most least caring people ever. Like I said I know I could be wrong here but it is all I see. People are more into selfish things like shopping and shows and concerts, traveling across the country to see something that will only last an hour at most. Instead of donating or lending a hand to someone who needs it, and I have personal experience with this when I continuously post charities online, in their faces and it just goes to the way side, drifts slowly down the page day by day with not a moments glance. This time has been better to say the least, I have had some donations to a very good cause and I am happy to be a part of it and have made it a point to make a fundraiser every month from now on.

Maybe it is just me but I don't see the religion in religious people these days. It is so easy to claim to be religious and to accept the positive connotations it implies to be. But when you are selfish and never take one second off yourself to lend a hand to someone else trying to do something good for the betterment of humanity I find it hard to like you. I find it hard to trust you in anything you say and do, I am losing faith in people on a daily basis. I am not a religious person, or a western religious person but I seem to be more into helping the helpless more than these people who claim to be better than so many other people. If you can stand on a soap box and bash so many people for who or what they are under the name of god, but you never try to do something good in the name of god, or just in the name of humanity, you are no better than the people you are bashing. Just my opinion.

So many people are talking negatively about this Occupy movement. Not really understanding all the negative things behind it. You would assume the poor people of this country would be behind a movement for their improvement, but I am wrong. It is sad that people would rather stay inside their homes and huddle up close to their expensive material possessions. These people are braving the cold, the rain and the never ending beatings by a police force that is suppose to protect us, a tool we put in place to protect us from real criminals, but now they are just turning us into the criminals. I am in no way a protestor, I don't claim to be. I have never slept outside, been arrested or pepper sprayed illegally, but I am a supporter, I take the time to educate myself on issues. What I don't get, also, about all these "americans" bashing the protestors and calling them lazy hippies is that this is not an american issue, this is worldwide. Cities all over the world are Occupying their governments and speaking out against their own versions of Wall St., they all have a stock market and big corporations that are exploiting them. Oddly enough in the poorer countries the big business is still american, but we are not all to blame, there is also the London Stock Exchange that is failing as well. I think we need to stop attacking the right people and start looking at the real issues and if you are not brave enough to sit in the street then be brave enough to say you give your support.

So many people around the world do not have adequate living situations, no jobs to even speak of, and no clean water. This is my cause, my issue that I am spending all my time on now. I just wanted to donate some of my time and space to speak out about these crimes of humanity. To think we have taps no less then a foot away from us at all times is crazy when you think about people walking miles a day for a chance at a glass of water, and some die along the way. These people are not fighting a war, they are not screaming out against high prices of oil or televisions. They are merely walking to get a sip of water and some just never make it back, and the real victim is the children who will never get that sip of water let alone see their family members again. Water and food are something we take for granted everyday, we use it as a means of comfort and joy. We use water to fill swimming pools, wash our cars, dishes and selves. We use food as a way to deal with life problems and in the process waste so much of it, it is sick to see how much grocery stores and restaurants waste everyday, all that could go to feed someone if we didn't put so many guidelines on our waste. These people who will never have a car, or a home with central air, would be satisfied with our waste. We could feed each person around the world for a month on our waste, daily waste. I am not trying to make anyone feel guilty, but I am just trying to educate and make aware these tragic stories. I am in no way better than anyone else, I am also a slave to the ways of living in america, I waste, I carelessly use, but I am becoming more aware and have since tried to cut back on my waste, tried to improve my life while improving the lives of others. I think I have found my calling.

Please read, donate if you can, and just spread the word as well. Give water.
