Money.....

Alright so once again, I was sitting in Detective Fiction, sitting in the back of the class room feeling as though I wasn't there. I could hear a conversation going on about themes of the book yet again. When they started talking about money. The greed that money causes, and how it makes people greedy, and how it rules their lives. I have always said that I have never liked money. I don't like what it does to people or how it makes them act. Don't get me wrong money is nice to have on hand, when you want something, but not completely necessary.

Think about it like this, I'm a girl, you all pretty much knew that. Alright, my parents from the time I was little were telling me that I should grow up and marry a rich doctor or lawyer. The way I see it money can cause the "disease" that I was talking about the other day. In fact that could be a lot of it. I'm not saying that that is the only thing that causes "disease" but it could be a large portion. How many times have you seen someone who is happily married get a divorce to be with someone who has lot's of money? Look at celebrities, royalty. Think about how many people are starvng in the world. Think about how much money they make a day and compair that to how much you make. How much money do you give to charity? How much money do you spend on someone else, for the good of someone else? Every year for the last 4 years I've been doing the 30 hour famine. That mean's I raise money for World Vision and then I don't eat for 30 hours, to see what these people go through, but the difference is that it's only 30 hours. I want to show people what it's like, I want people to feel the pain. But to many people are selfish and don't care what other people feel. To many American's care about what they want and themselves. I admit that I care about me and my well being, but I also care about a lot of other things. Do you care when you significant other has a bad day? Or when they need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on? Do you care what size your t.v. is? Or what about name brand shoes? Clothes? Car? What is it that you care most about? I know that I care about me, but I also know that I care about Chris and how his day was. I look forward to the 30 hour famine. I don't know how people can go into debt for a car or t.v. If you have something shouldn't you be grateful for what you have? I'll joke about watching the bigger t.v. but I'm happy with what I have, or what you have while I'm with you. The hat: here we go......it's been awhile sense you have heard about the hat. It's not my hat, but if I lost it or ruined it, spilled something on it, or who know's what else. I would die. It's his hat. I wear it a lot. I wear it A LOT. I got a card for valentines day. A CARD! Not roses, not candy, not a charm braclet. A card, I have never been so happy in my life. I guess what I'm simply trying to say is, be grateful for what you have. I have been saying this for a long time and will continue to say it......as long as I have someone who cares about me, I would live in a card board box, on the corner. Because as long as I have you, that's all I need...........wrap your mind around that.
