WARNING. THE FOLLOWING BLOG POST WILL LIKELY RUIN YOUR HAPPY DAY AS IT TALKS ABOUT THE LESS FORTUNATE PEOPLE IN THIS UNIVERSE.

Hi guys.

There's this thing on my mind that's been itching at me for a long time. I really just needed to get it out.

This thing has been with me for almost as long as I can remember, but it really hit me this other day. My family and I had eaten dinner at a restaruant and we were waiting outside for a taxi. As we talked, a poor man was walking down the sidewalk behind us. My dad told me and brother to go back inside the restaurant. Through the glass walls of the restaruant doors, I saw the man walk by my dad.

The poor, poor man had a limp. It seemed liked his left leg couldn't move well, or at all. I don't remember what his clothes were like, but I know he had a bowl in his hand. I saw him pass by my dad without a glance at him. His eyes weren't on my father, they were on the restaraunt.

God. His eyes. It was like staring misery in the face.

We saw another guy running to catch up with the man and gave him our money to give to the poor man as well. But I don't know if he really wanted money. What's money to a man who probably can't even go into a store and buy something?

My dad said he saw the man show his empty bowl to people in a truck selling fruit. But, being a fine example of some of the selfish people in society, they gave him nothing.

Just imagine this. Walking by a street of restaurants. Seeing people eating inside of them. Knowing you can never, ever enjoy the same pleasure.

It's weird, isn't it? Just thinking that you could have been born into a life like that, but you weren't. I don't know about DNA, biology, whatever, but it's crazy. I personally don't know what I did to deserve shelter while some children are crippled so they can earn money.

I'm not denying that people here have problems. Big problems. Huge problems. But it's humbling to think that there's a girl out there wondering if she can earn money today, while I sit here and wonder if I'll ever get to writing half my stories.

And on a lighter note, I'll be inactive here since I'm going on vacation from the 13th to the 17th. :)

Thanks for letting my share my depressing thoughts :)
