We share in the sadness of the people of Haiti, and stand alongside the global effort to get aid to our brothers and sisters there. It seems that in certain instances, we feel as though it is our responsibility to help…but the very system itself creates horrendous suffering around the world every day.
I can’t help but think about how much good could be done if nations adopted a shared ethos of cooperation, synergy, and genuine empathy across the board. The global economic paradigm is in a shambles and practically all of the assets are in very few pockets, and if anything goes wrong for the global elite, they are immediately bailed out. Around the world, 80% of the people live on less than $10 a day–half live on less than $3 a day.
Unnecessary wars are heartbreaking when you consider all of the human suffering that is taking place around the globe. Afghanistan, this great threat, has a per capita income of around $800. Adding to the suffering of these poverty stricken people, at enormous cost, is the height of immorality and an epic example of man’s inhumanity to man. Hopefully the world can provide Haiti with the ongoing assistance that it needs in the wake of the disaster…but after that…then what?
