Making misery more manageable

Yuu
Isn't it amazing how sometimes when we hear of a plane crash with 100 or so people perishing, our minds can't absorb the tragedy? Yet when 33 men are being rescued from thousands of feet below the earth, we are glued to the media coverage and find our eyes welling up with tears as we see them reunited with their family.

Just so, when we look at the world's misery caused by poverty and hunger and war, we can become overwhelmed. But look a bit closer to home... look at just a few individuals... and often we can find ways to improve the lot of at least that little portion of the world... one



person at a time.

Mother Teresa said it best:

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
