I look around the world and I see things which are so hugely wrong that they seem overwhelming. I feel awful, and I feel like giving up.
Things like famine and war. Why does one country starve when another country is bathing in wealth? its SO wrong. It could work so much better than this.
And rich countries, instead of helping out these unfortunate countries, instead rape them, kill their people, and steal their natural resources.
There is an enormosity of evil in the world. And I could be happy with this. I could accept it if I gave up what I believed in... It is a tedious path that I've chosen, and Ive thought about giving up, and being greedy and capitalistic...but I must keep reminding myself that of the facts. That I'm better than being ignorant and being used.
And one day, I'll see this path through, and war and famine will go, the greedy nations will fall, not through conflict, but through overwhelming compassion.
I must keep reminding myself of this.
