janestarzJust as I started typing I sipped my coffee and I had expected it to be a harsh one, but it’s actually quite mild and well…just perfect!
*sips* mmmhh….
So, as I was wondering. Dear lord it’s too early to contemplate the meaning of my pathetic little life…but I’ll do it anyway. In the war/third world countries/ poor countries, people would starve and do anything for food. And this morning I found myself throwing away chicken-curry salad because it was one week old and didn’t appeal to me in the meantime so I didn’t eat it. As I was making bread (bread!!! Yay!) I realised that a] people are starving and also that b] there are bright people in the world who don’t receive proper education. They want to learn but instead they are forced to work because there is no school or money for school in their life.
And then I pondered that I’ve been nagging about school while in other countries people would kill for being able to go to school. I felt guilty.
You’ve must have heard this all before but have you ever thought about the meaning of it to you?
I give to greenpeace and I can study easily, but what have I ever done for them?
I’m too compassionate. Blegh.

Hm. Now I’ll just get on with my life as you want to with yours.
