Haiti? Why Can’t We Leave Other Countries Alone?

So you have to see this video. I am not one to talk about the negative ,but I see this as a learning opportunity children. So gather around. Seems that you can’t go any where without hearing about Haiti. From the ever so mindless words of Pat Roberts

(How anyone can continue to watch and or support this man boggles the mind.) to the dollars for Haiti canisters at the Salvation army and at your local elementary school, Haiti is the worry of the day. You know a wise man once said. Focus on doing the things that you want to do in life. Focus on your goals and dreams and your family and your community and leave the worrying and fretting to those who like to worry about such things. There will always be a crisis and there will always be a need/cry of injustice or disaster to fill the time for those who have nothing to do. So if you have nothing to do then keep watching these stories and giving this obvious catastrophe your energy. However, if you are not going to go to Haiti and help rebuild houses with Habitat For Humanity, or work with an international aid organization to assist in humanitarian aid, or adopt a newly orphaned Haitian child. Then give your money to the charity of your choice and go on with your life. There are people right here that need assistance. Some of them may be in your immediate family. By helping yourself you help others. Besides, what do you gain from worrying about something that you cannot do anything about? What do the people that you are worrying about gain from you worrying about them? I think we all know the answer.

Nothing!!

In closing people there will always be something to worry about and if you spend your time and energy constantly worrying about things that you are not going to do anything about you just might wake up at the end of your time here on earth wondering “Where all of the time went.” Do for you and by doing that you will indirectly do for others. Very Republican I know! Obama 2012!!!! Don’t get it twisted!

Peace,
