I was doing my research for my upcoming popular culture paper and chanced upon this wonderful video. it moved me terribly and i teared in the middle of the library! can you believe it! i am so emotional.
this song made me question the way i've been leading my life and how self-centred i've been with my goals and aspirations in life. it opens up my eyes to both the wonders of the world beyond my comfort zone and at the same time, makes me realise how much pain and suffering has been inflicted on mankind all around the globe. it makes me think, what can i do? and how can i bicker everyday about how life has been unfair to me, when out there, there are millions of innocent children who are deprived of the very things that i take forgranted! my family, a roof over my head, food, education, friends, love...its come to a point that being thenkful for all these is just not enough. what can i do to bring these things to them? sigh... but in any case, listen to the song and think to yourselves, what have you done today that is not selfish and has helped the many who are suffering a worst fate then you are. think about it.

That's a really poignant song. It did make me think of all the pain and suffering. Life isn't a bed of roses, life isn't fair. Question is, what can we do about it. There isn't anything wrong with self-centred aspirations and goals. To be able to help others, you need to be able to help yourself first right? I guess the thing we can take away from this is to be appreciative of what we have and if the means permit, help those who are really in need of it.
Thanks for putting up the song, it's great!
