Putting Things in Perspective/ Haiti
It's kind of hard not to notice what's going on right now in Haiti, and the world alike. I hear news reports of the airports being filled to capacity because of all the aid being sent, and all I remember is Obama in Germany saying that he was a citizen of the world, like we pretty much all are whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. I think about the fact that we are at war, and the amount of people that are at war with us, and I just can't help but realize how miniscule all of it turns out to be.
Really makes you think, some idiot tries to blow up an airplane with a bomb in his underwear and natures turns around does this. You realize on how much of s smaller scale we really are. I'm not getting political, or religious, but a tad philosophical. Just thought I'd share, any input is appreciated.

It does make you think.
Have you ever heard the analogy that if time was measured on a tape measure set at 6 feet, that all of human existence would be represented by 1/4"? Crazy. |

We are everything that humanity is. In these times a fallen nation needs compassion and comfort. Just like many other nations offering us compassion and comfort for 9/11, we'll give back to another in need. I'm glad to hear relief is making its way there.

I have friends that are still lost in Haiti at this very moment.. I was a lynn university student. I graduated Dec of 08. They just found out that they got some bad information and a friend of mine that was supposedly found is infact still missing...
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/ly...in-178309.html This is absolutely terrible... Please keep all those still trapped in the rubble in your prayers. |

at least mother nature is on my side..... would hate to be on the receiving end of her fury.
I think people forget the fact that were just people, one of billions. At the end of it all, we are all expendable statistics. The only way life has meaning is if you make it that way, so let this be a reminder to all the pencil pushers living for nothing to make sure theres something in their life that gives it meaning. we can die any second, so make the most of it. life's tough, get a helmet.
