Back to reality...

Sometimes the true facts of life are harsh or embarrassing. For one reason or more sometimes we change the truth to something different so others don't look down on us. The problem in doing this is we ourselves start to think what we tell others is our true reality. And than like a ton of bricks the truth hits us. Back to reality I ago... time to distance myself from the world and just do what needs to be done. Can't live with other peoples expectations.

p o v e r t y


"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom."

I Don't Want To Care Right Now - Lupe Fiasco w/lyrics

Inspiration

::INSPIRATION::
The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative

Inspiration to change anything and everything about your life can come from different direction. Often it hits you like a ton of bricks. My inspiration to create a blog was recently driven by reading other peoples blogs. But the main sources of inspiration comes from within me. I was born in Ethiopia, considered one of the poorest nations in the world. It has been known to receive aid but still most live on less than a $1 a day. This is below what is thought to be poverty. Recently after writing a paper called "Moral Obligation to Eradicate Poverty" I've felt more driven than ever to get involved and bring a change in not only the country I was born in but the country I live in now, USA!

Did you know 22,000 children die each day due to Poverty?
