Compared to the life of a Haitian earthquake victim, or any one truly suffering, though, there is so much worse than not looking good enough or people mistreating you (sometimes). There is death; there is starvation and dehydration; Real serious issues. And it’s not one day that people have to deal with it. It’s everyday. And yet, even if they’ve had a ‘bad day’, the children that run Wings Over Haiti trudge on, always further and further to helping Haiti, but always seeing the light at the end of the cave someday, Haitians can experience a good day again for once.
The issues of poverty stricken earthquake victims may be much simpler than our complex dilemmas, but they come so much closer to death. When you have a bad day, think of them.
