A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:
“Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”
The survey was a huge failure.
In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant. In India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant. In Europe they didn’t know what ‘shortage’ meant. In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant. In the Middle East they didn’t know what ‘solution’ meant. In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant. And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant.
Changes are oblivious as of right now. The poor will get poorer, the richer will get richer.

I LOVE this post of yours. I really like it. It’s insightful. Did you write that yourself?!
I can’t believe I made it into one of your dreams, how exciting for me! I’m interested in knowing what my “funky boots” looked like, haha
How have you been? I never seem to catch you at church… but that’s my fault too, i’m never on time. I hope you’re doing well… some of your previous posts make me feel so sad. Take care of yourself…
It’s sad to know there is always that gap between the rich and poor, but a reality nonetheless. I loved this post. Hopefully, we can make a difference one day =), idealistic as it may seem.
