The Tears Should Be For Someone Else

We all need a dose of this every now and then.

Actually I don't know anymore.

Human death by starvation have been a momentous event in our recent history on a gigantic scale for some time now.

I've spent lots of time and energies as a younger man supporting Bob Geldof and his campaign to feed the starving.

I rallied behind Bono Vox in his attempt to get the rich countries to forgive debt to poor countries.

But no matter what has been done, the problem persists. The food and money is simply not going to the right people. More often than not ending up buying weapons for warring tribes and enriching dictators.

I've decided to take matters into my own hands and employ the poor. Help them to help themselves. But trust me, noble aspirations can be a thankless task too.

As long as you feel good doing it, Mackie.

When I helped others, I tend to gain more than what I had to give to help. Even when the receiver was an undeserving one.

You shared with me years ago, you said everyone you meet is your teacher.

I am still gaining from your insight til this very day.

i didn't quite like this post.

i mean, it's good that we know what's going over the other side of the world. but your bitchy friend just has a bitchy way to bitch about it huh?

like she said,

"And there you girls are, breaking up with your boyfrineds because they don't have money? SHAME on you! Shame on you!".

sorry but what the fuck? the 2 matters don't link can? starvation of another person and the other girls' expectation?

siao. so what the fuck should we all do now, go marry a poor man? resign from our job and help them out? marry them and have i'll offsprings there? join them in the pee bath? siao bor? i break up with my millionaire boyfriend wouldn't change the situation.

but if i were to donate some money to the organizations helping them... uh huh... that's useful.

maybe, she should learn a better way to bitch.

yurks!

and now julian has a bitch. haha... looking forward for some updates and probably brandy & miko can have a new friend.

Kierra,

oh.. I didn't quite notice that she said that. I was probably distracted looking at the pictures that I did not read the blog itself much.

(Anyway, think she is Will's frn if I am not wrong, I dun really know her in person.)

Nevertheless, it is not so much of the wealth status quo of a man as far as I am concerned, but rather it's the passion and determination to succeed qualities that they should possess.

And we all know that in Sg, when you have these qualities, you should be far from starvation and pee baths.

Aiyah anyway, sibeh no link leh.

On a happier note, I have not met Jules' JRT but from what I heard, she's really gentle and sweet tempered so Miko and Brandy should have no problems getting along with her!!
