It really doesn't matter where in the world we are. We are all on this planet together. Earthquakes, wars, tsunamis, hurricanes, disease are all bigger picture newsflashes when it doesn't directly affect us. If we should ever have the misfortune of being involved in one of these disasters let's hope that the rest of the world doesn't throw up its collective arms at us. Tragedy is a part of living but triumph rises above when people keep doing whatever they can to help those in need. Yes, we've heard it all before and we'll hear it all again but let's never lose sight of the importance of taking care of each other. They say that charity begins at home and we often wonder how much is enough. When you read or experience just a little bit about the world outside of your own, you'll see you have so much more than so many other people. We need not feel too guilty about our fortunate lives but ought to feel some sense of responsibility for those who truly fight for survival every day.
Let's not turn our backs on people because they don't live in our part of the world, or we perceive that their government didn't help us out in times of need. Just know that people need our help and whatever we can give will change their world for the better. If you really can't afford to give anything at this time then please pass a helpful message along, say a prayer or shed some tears. As long as we live, we must aim to never harden our hearts to the plight of other human beings. To those that are in a position to help be thankful that you are and know that you're efforts are appreciated.
Search your heart, do some research to find out more. Help the people struck by the quake in Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Qinghai bordering Sichuan and Tibet.
Do what you can because it all matters.
