To Do: Open My Eyes

I used to do event planning and I still work on some major projects/events. I recently helped with a HUGE event at work and there were so many volunteers there that they had everything broken into sections.

Things in my section were really quite and laid back but I wanted to walk around and check out some other areas near the entrance of the event and their sections was in chaos. They were running out of handouts and they couldn't pass everything out quick enough. I ran up to go grab some more handouts for them and tried to help them out.

They were so busy that they couldnt even leave or call for more help but my section was just standing around chatting and passing out the few handouts that we had.

This reminds me of what is going on in the world today. We can all stand around chatting and going about our glamous lives in our area but there are areas in the world that are in utter chaos. And they really need our help. It is so easy for me to sit in my cushy office and watch the news about all the destruction across the world and then move on with my life. But I just can't. I just want to pack up my bags and donate all my money to help these people.

There is no conclusion to this post because there is no conclusion to this problem. I just don't know what to do!!
