it's amazing sometimes how a video can affect you so much. perhaps i don't appreciate what i have enough. i used to think what my folks tell me about people dying of starvation in africa cuz they have no food to eat was just exageration but it's just so real.they're humans like us but they live like bloody animals. they don't get the dignified burial that all humans deserve, they beg and scratch and sieve for food, and when they get none, they just get so ill that all they can do is lie on the ground and pant and groan and whine like beasts. sometimes i think God ain't fair. while here we are complaining about lousy food, insufficient pocket money and tons of homework, these people don't have nothing except for the fucked up sun and the fucking famine that they have to live with all their lives. we condemn them. say it's really all their fault cuz if they don't give birth to so many children they won't have that much competition for necessities. but it is fear. fear that they will lose all that they have in the harsh conditions. everyone wants people who loves them and whom they can love back. no one wants their family to die out and be left with nothing.while we waste so much crap here the people over there remain hungry and poor. sometimes when you get some time to spare to think of these people, one can't help but wonder if perhaps in that barren land, God has indeed forsaken His people...
