Today I got a person’s comment that said (”just another whining story,referring to my family members amputation). He asked if I was aware of world hunger and if I knew anything of starving people in the world.

Well we do not live all around the world where aide is depending on the UN to feed them.  We are a nation that gives to others, and first and foremost we should take care of our own. I am sharing with the world that life is full of injustice, everywhere not just over there, but here where we are great enough to send food to others in need, others in turmoil, others who live under tyranny, others who weather war. I believe we should be strong and great enough to give our country men and women the basic chance to survive a tragic encounter that could have happened to anyone, that happened to my family member.  If we take care of our own first,  we can be strong enough to have the strength and  privilege to stretch out our hand to give help to others elsewhere. So I say to you yes I am aware of what is happening around the world today, last year, and last century.  I am also aware that instead of compassion, apathy and indifference for your neighbor or mine is common more often than not, So no, not a whining matter just a little humanitarian concern thank you.
