So today at school we had this guest speaker, it was this girl who traveled through Central America, helping the poor. It honestly made me feel like shit... but in a good way. It was so ironic, because here i was in my expensive clothes, new flip-phone, looking at an opera pamphlet, listening to how many, if not most people in this world live under unfathomable poverty. I mean she was describing this single mother who's husband had been murdered, she was left with several children all under the age of 10. She talked about how it made her want to give up the material things in her life, and how its everyones responsibility to take care of those kinds of people. I just started thinking that if someone asked me to do that, give up everything i had, i really don't think i could. That feeling just sucks. i'm not trying to get any pity, or any bullshit like that, it just made everything in my life seem trivial. It stupidly made me think that they could kick my ass in an argument, like if i started complaining about how i didn't have a fair callback, or how Blanchet has screwed me over... all they would have to say is "Yeah well at least your not starving to death, and your getting an education." It just makes everything seem stupid, comparatively speaking Americans don't have all that much to bitch about. i hate walking around confused all the damn time.
