Yes we can... but for real?

I can’t take out of my mind a recent post read in Elena’s blog. It freezes my blood. When I think that most of the time we are living inside this bubble where life seems "fairly alright" (let’s not get into details or this sunny day will turn deep black). While out there, people, millions of them, who struggle every single day to keep on living. Hunger, diseases, abuse of power, injustice, lack of information, education… the list could go on and on.

Elena talked about two little boys from Nairobi, who lost their mum in tragic situation and with a dad that would be better off… She’s helping as mush as she is allowed; since her actions can be misconceived and could mean more trouble for those little angels. If there’s a God somewhere, why tolerate things like this to occur, and so often. Freewill to men… “tu parles”. Why so much fuzz about the WallStreet crush; what about all those who are really sinking. Still no bonuses this year for them? Of course not, but WallStreet is recovering and they will get their bonuses like every year, thanks God! :(

Can’t help feeling guilty for not doing something myself. We are lucky to live comfortable and in good health. And we are grateful for that, everyday. We are lucky yes, but we have worked hard too to come this way. Still there must be something I can do.

My godmother has been helping an orphanage for years now. She goes there every Friday. She spends the afternoon with the kids, plays with them, feeds them… a warm hug is sometimes enough to make a difference. Lucia is 9 months today; I would do my best to show her that we can try and make this world look nicer.

The rich will get wealthier and poor will become poorer; is the terrible fate of mankind. But don’t miss the slightly opportunity, no matter how tiny it is, to change this.
