humanity?

Injustice…truth about humans…superficiality…
Depressing…They have to be human. They have to be the ones who save everyone. They have to be the ones who tell everyone what is right and what to do. Really, though, they are the ones who are destroying our very humanity. By letting us run rampant they are letting us exploit our rights and so then we learn to take for granted our blessings in life. Running water, electricity, a bed to sleep on, blankets to sleep under, our families around us to comfort us…these are what they give us and we take them for granted. We have them every day, all the time, and we cannot conceive of a time and place of not having cold, clean water to drink whenever we want. This is what makes them so inhuman. This is what makes them the scary, dark, unfathomable monster that we cannot figure out. But really, we are a part of that monster. We are the ones who contribute to the reality that it has become. We demand our rights and privileges when they really aren’t our privileges at all. They are gifts bestowed on us by God. He has allowed our country to prosper and have we thanked Him enough? Of course not…but that doesn’t mean that we can go around and feel sorry for “those poor starving Africans” while we turn right around and sleep in our soft mattress in a secure home.
