All I can say is that after all the has happened in Haiti, it really puts things in perspective. It seems to be that the more we have and the more comforts and luxuries we take for granted the more we complain and whine. It seems that the ones who have so little are so grateful. It scares me to think that the more money and power one obtains the less they are willing to appreciate life, compassion and gratitude. While there are many people of power such as Bill Gates who do give and do find the importance to be grateful and give back to those who do not have as much, there are just too many times that you see whiny teenagers on MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen where they think their life is over if they did not get that $300,000 car. We love seeing these types of people and giving them undeserved attention and glory instead of focusing on those who give hope or at the very least do not complain about what material possessions they have and it is only during times of crisis that we pay any attention to them. It just really reminds me and all of us where we really hold valuable in our day to day lives.
