After watching this video I agree with Meg that we do live very sheltered lives. It so easy to forget about those who do not have what we are blessed with. We take so much for granted. Every day we have a safe place to live our lives in and every night we have a warm bed to sleep in. We may complain about how hard life in college is but the people in that video know what a truly hard life is.
There is no way to solve the problems of every person who is homeless or addicted or mentally ill, but if everyone makes an effort to try what a better world we would live in. Giving up is such an easy route to take. It is so effortless to say we are helpless and that nothing anyone does will solve these problems. I don't want to take that route. I agree with meg, we are so worried about solving the problems of other countries that we forget about the problems right here at home. How is it possible to be so blind? Before we can truly help those in other nations we must first help ourselves!
