The 21st Time

When I saw this video recently, I made me realize that how many times I have passed by those in need and not done something even though in my mind I felt like I should. It is something that I need reminding of on a constant basis. I also sometimes get frustrated because of the priorities that people in America have. Some are harping on the fact that we have to fight terrorism, around the world. Some statistics to consider, the most amount of people that were killed in one year due to terrorist acts was around 2,000. In contrast, 4.5-5 million people die each year from hunger. So which do you think is a good war to be fighting?

I also get frustrated because I want to help so many people all at once and get lost sometimes in the fact that I can't. But I take solace in the fact that I know many people who are committed to doing good in this world and that gives me hope.
