i've been thinking

Well, I haven't written a blog for a while. I was fasting the internet for a week and thought of so many blog topics in that time, but of course now I've forgotten them all. Why don't I just talk about something important. Okay, so I was in Sydney last weekend and saw so many homeless people. I realise that some of them actually choose that lifestyle but I drove past a man begging on the street, right on the path with his hands out, and everyone just walked past him. Out of the dozens of people I saw walk right by him, only 2 looked at him; but still kept walking. If I wasn't in a walking car I would have given him something. I suppose I could have comando-rolled out of the window, but I didn't. I'm not sure what to do in the situations where I see homeless people. Everything within me wants to give them money but I refrain because I'm scared they're just going to waste it on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. This is why I think we should make up bags of essentials, like soap and shampoo, shaving equipment. And FOOD! Or even a blanket or a bottle of water. This would be very appreciated by them, I really believe!

Of course we can focus on problems around the world like starvation, thirst and sex slavery, of course, but we also need to focus on problems in our own backyard. Our community is our backyard and people in it need help too. There are even people who are so alone, who just need someone to talk to or to help them around the house. If they even have a house. I really want to do something about this! I also want to adopt a child. How awful it must feel to think no one wants you? Your very own family doesn't want you, or they couldn't have you? I want to give a child, or a number of children hope. Adoption wont be happening for a number of years though. But I can help homeless and needy and lonely people right now! I, we need to take a stand. All that seems to happen in the world is the current generation blames the previous one for all the problems in the world. Why don't we man up and instead of finding someone to blame, fix it! Fix all the problems ourselves. So that the next generation thanks us, instead of looking down on us for doing nothing. And lets face it, if we don't do something soon there wont be many generations left to come. The o-zone layer is that bad at the moment!
