Dear F-list!
I wish you all a very nice holiday!! I hope you will spend christmas in a nice relaxed way with your dear ones!!
As I´m still very much in Bushido-fever, here a few very accurate lines <3
I´m not religious in the slightest, so this is what christmas is about for me:
Genieß den Augenblick, wenn du mit deinen Freunden bist
Diesen Moment mit deiner Mutter, denn dann freut sie sich
Irgendwann wird sie geh’n, genieß den Augenblick,
Den du grade mit ihr teilst, alles andere braucht sie nicht
These days there are countless organizations collecting money for their projects. As you simply cannot donate to everything, one has to "prioritize" (as bad as it sounds) and find the organization one wants to support the most. This is my favorite Charity; "Light for the World".
Can you imagine people becoming blind because they are not able to pay the 30 Euro it costs to treat eye cataract?
"There are about 37 million blind people in the world, 90% live in developing countries. 75% of cases of blindness are treatable by relatively simple means or could have been avoided in the first place."
