What bothers you and why?
Before I dig in, I am extremely bothered by people who litter. Keep your trash in your bag if you can’t find anyway to dispose it; assuming these are tissues or banana peels.
I am Zimbabwean I really don’t have to say much about my upbringing. I thank God it was better .My father managed to send me and my siblings to the best schools. Fast forward I am nurse in German. I still complain about my salary and some things but one thing for most I am able to take care of myself. I can decide to go have lunch in Brussels and do that with just a click.
After school I am going to my “side job” I really don’t have to but I want New Balance sneakers and they are going for €120 . I told myself thats just a couple of hours and soon I will be in bed.
There is a child in Africa or any part of the world who can’t go to school because they can’t afford school fees. The parents don’t have the means or they might be late.
I know what you are thinking. Yes I can’t save everyone and I can’t deprive myself of the good things of this world especially if I am working for them. But isn’t it unfair that a group of people are starving whilst I spend on an extra pair of shoes because they really fit with my cargo pants. It’s just so unfair that some people are born in poverty and there is a high chance that they will die like that.
Isn’t it unfair that some people are born healthy and some with disabilities. I live in a first world country I have access to clean water,power and health care yet 50% of the world’s hospitals are filled with cholera patients. Some people are born unattractive without any natural skill.Some females are born in a country that subjugates women and their destinies are already determined. Some have already lost the most important people in their lives. Some are just settling because the people they loved didn’t care about them.
There is a lot of unfairness in this world.
Life is just random luck you can’t convince me otherwise. You don’t get to choose your parents.You have no control over a lot of things.
Help people as much as you can. Be kind. Weigh your options. Appreciate the things you have in life both materialistic and non materialistic. Everyone goes through hell in life I think . Be considerate,BE KIND and leave the rest to fate.
Sad truth, thank you for awakening me on how on sometimes I can be indirectly be selfish / unkind on the needy.
