My post was deleted so I'll do it all again!

I hate injustice. The world is so screwed up, it's not fair. Along with my newfound love of religion lessons at school comes my acknowledgement of all the injustice and cruelty we're living with. And I want to do something about it, but I don't know what. I really love the snowflake story, which Ms Parry told us the other week. I'll give you my own adaptation of it as I don't have the original.

One day a squirrel said to a dove "How much do you think a snowflake weighs?"
"Nothing more than nothing" the dove replied.
"Well then..let me tell you a story" said the squirrel/
"One day, I was sitting on the branch of a fir tree when it started to snow. Not violent, heavy snow, but the soft kind, that makes the world seem perfect. Now as I had nothing better to do, I decided to count the snowflakes that fell onto my branch. I counted 3,741,503. And then..one more snowflake fell onto the branch-nothing more than nothing, as you say-and the branch broke!"

Let's all take a lesson from the snowflake story..there could just be one person in the world holding back from making the world more just..and it could be their actions that tip the scales. One snowflake can break a branch, and one person can make a difference
