Earthquake in Ayiti 1/12/2010



In retrospect, the complaining I've been doing about what I supposedly don't have or didn't do is nothing compared to what 80% of the people in Haiti are dealing with. I feel ashamed that I have not consistently remained grateful and upbeat about my environment.

Poverty in the Haiti is no comparison to what we consider poverty in America. People fail to realize that as bad as we want to portray our government, the sitting president and the political games as money hungry, narcissistic, liars (which they can be), we still have it pretty good here.

And when all this humanitarian effort has gone weeks after the initial outpouring of generosity from the international community, Haiti will still be the poorest nation, the size of Maryland with roughly 10 million people in the Western Hemisphere.

And we will all go back to our lives, working, paying bills, and complaining.
