face it, we are greedy people.

Face it, we are greedy people. We take and take and want and want. But most of us don't ever give things back. Some of us do, for the better of the people. But the rest of us...we just want more. When we are poor or having financial problems, we see for a moment some of the suffering others have to endure. But only for a moment. A large percentage of North Americans are not in any state where we don't have running water or food on the table everyday, for every meal. We have clothes on our backs and many more in our closets. We have beds and houses to shelter us from the cold. We have an education offered to us, birth control, jobs...so much that people just give to us. We are lucky people and most of us don't realize it or even take a second to understand it. Why is this?

Today I watched Hotel Rwanda, mostly because I have to do a History project on it. I kept on procrastinating watching this movie because, well, because I had no interest to REALLY want to see it. I would see it if I had to but on my own...no. Today, though I did watch it, from beginning until the very end. I have to say...I was very wrong. I was selfish and have been selfish...just like the rest of America. People out there...people in Africa or any poor country who have suffered great loses, experienced a genocide...I feel for you! You are the inspiring people...not us. Not us, who only sing great music and play a million instruments. No, we are just the people who have many opportunities...

I am one girl. One person who probably feels to much for people. Hotel Rwanda is only one of many movies I have seen about innocent people being killed. Yet is was the first to catch me. To realize that we should all make a difference. Why spend so much time stopping global warming, when you could help people live a better life? The world is going to end anyway, why not make those last days for someone worth the while...

Well, because face it, we are greedy people!
