A Crazy World

In one world,people are dying to be thin,taking wieght-losing drugs to cause severe diarrhoea deliberately.In another world,all people are skinny because they have nothing to eat.

In one world,people keep a close eye on trends,constantly changing their clothes,shoes,bags,etc.for fear that they may be derided as being out.In another world,people even don't have a piece of cloth to cover their body.

In one world,many children feel weary of attending school,wrangling annoyingly to be taken to the amusement park or allowed to surf the Internet.In another world,few children has access to education.They are eager to gain knowledge and skill,but either their families are too poor to afford the fee or there doesn't exist any school at all.

In one world,people are complaining about everything non-stop:low salaries,soaring prices,ill welfare,high pressure...In another world,people seldom complain because they've got nothing to complain about.

It seems so crazy and unacceptable,doesn't it?How can the above two worlds which are exactly the opposite exist in "unison" in our planet?Maybe you will argue that contrasts always exist;they can never be eliminated.Yes,that's true just like black and white,tall and short that everything comes with its opposite.But at least we can take some action to help the destitute to be not that poor,at least to be equipped with daily necessities such as clothes and food to survive and facilities such as schools and hospitals to develop.

You may also question that we are not Bono or Anita Roddick who are famous,wealthy and influential enough to help the poor,what on earth can we do?In fact,a little change in our attitude is enough which can give rise to maybe unexpected results.Just be grateful to what we have already own and aware of the fact that there are many people around the world who are still living in poverty and suffering a lot.Keep this awareness in mind and then when opportunities come by such as when we become successful,we will naturally offer our help to them.

Although at present the world is not fair or balanced and even seems rather crazy,as long as more and more people can become aware of this and contribute to improving our world,somehow this situation can be turned around.
