And then, suddenly, something happened. Who knows what it was. Perhaps... perhaps we discovered that money gives us more than good deeds. Perhaps we grew lazy. Perhaps we were all in a bad mood.
But suddenly, everything was different, and we no longer cared about what happened to the other people, our neighbors, our friends.
We lost the shimmer.
We lost the glow.
We lost the kindness.
People, something must change! Somebody must make that first act, that first leap into something better, into something more important than our television sets or our magazines or what happened to whom! We must learn to see past our noses!
We have to start caring about genocide.
We have to start caring about the exploitation of those who can barely put food on the table!
We have to do something!
People, people, please. It doesn't have to be something big, not to start out with. It's allowed to be something small. Smile at a child who may not know that there is kindness in the world. Help somebody up, off of that pavement, who doesn't know that there are people who aren't bullies. I know that financial times are hard. Give a dollar to charity, give some food to someone who's off worse than you.
Help one person, be kind to ONE PERSON! And the world will be a better place.
