I have been thinking a lot about this recently. People seem to really care only about themselves. When you get down to the bare human emotions, you'll find that people will try to keep themselves alive (duh!) and be financially comfortable doing so.

I saw a video on YouTube by Jeff Takeover recently called "Make Christmas Come Early To A Dying Boy...". Basically, it's unlikely that he'll make it to Christmas and that Jeff has asked for people to send him some Christmas cards. I don't have a problem with this at all, seriously. But what about every other kid who won't make it to Christmas for one reason or another? Do they not deserve a card too?

I think when the word "charity" is thrown around, people generally stick their noses up at it, saying "it's my money, why should I give out free money to people I don't know?" People are more willing to keep their money for themselves and pay bills, and luxuries with it than give to charity. When I see those charity adverts on the TV, I ignore them. I think we have these luxuries becasue we want to feel secure, happy, loved.  For example, you COULD live without a microwave, a toaster and an iron. You COULD LIVE without that satellite TV and your HD plasma TV. You could give that money you were supposed to buy these things with to charity, but you didn't... So, are you a little bit selfish?

Sharing your money with those less fortunate is good, but not everyone wants to, or has to.
