Disasters

So everybody know what happened in Japan, right? It's absolutely awful. I looked at pictures and I wanted to cry for them. So donate to the Red Cross by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. I plan on doing this momentarilly. I did the same for Haiti. I think it's a really important thing to do to feel like you're helping, if only a tiny bit.

This whole thing brings me to a greater point: the world is a disaster. Has anyone else noticed this? The Middle East/Northern Africa (a lot of Africa) is a mess, Japan just got devastated, and well...Where in the world are things good? Not a lot of places. And I understand other places might consider ways of living acceptable that I just don't get. I wouldn't force my lifestyle on anyone, but...It's times like these I'm reminded that although I don't love or even like many aspects of living in America, I'm incredibly thankful that I live in the United States.

I can't help but to worry about the world, though. All of the things people go through...Unimaginable things...Places like Darfur still exist. And here I am sitting at home, enjoying a night of watching Glee. And I love Glee, I do. But there are certainly more valuable things I could do with my time...

That's what I plan to look into in college. Finding a major where I can do something. I know that I joke around about taking over the world or whatever, but I say it with the best intentions. I worry about the world. I worry about religion and the rights men think religion gives them. I worry about the power-hungry and the manipulative taking advantage of the easily manipulated.

And I don't know what to do.
