Just for the record, I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I know I'm a very lucky individual right now. I'm not gay and being denied my right to live my life by the government, I'm not being drafted (yet) or sent to Iraq, I'm not on welfare, I'm not in debt (yet). I'm not poor, starving, dying of AIDS/Parkinsons/Alzheimers/Cancer/Heart Disease. I don't need a flu shot. I have a roof over my head,a job and a car to drive. I have a wonderful family, a great boyfriend, and a pet fish. All of my parts work, except my myopic eyes (which laser surgery may one day fix) and a gallbladder that I no longer have. I am a very lucky girl.
But it makes me wonder... if I feel this way today, how must those other people feel right now? The ones who don't have what I have? And how do I help?
