I think giving kids (and adults) the opportunity to engage for free in serious exploration of own talents, dreams and imagination would help tremendously in fighting with poverty, crime, negativity.autsajderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603833143691595524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652307526960260240.post-71826709891963437802011-03-19T14:41:29.476-04:002011-03-19T14:41:29.476-04:00It is a privilege isn't it?

If someone has access to a computer, a roof over their head, or even attended some sort of school, they are already in a very small minority of the world's population. I think a big part of the apathy or lack of interest in the ails of the poor (e. g. thoughts you've expressed above) are greatly influenced by the individualized, fast-paced, and materialist culture of most western societies. <br /><br />It's sad. There are so many people, so many dreams, and so much energy but it sits in the confines of someone's thoughts or lays untapped. I think like you've mentioned, we can be grateful for the things we do have. But also, I think contemplating ways of helping others achieve their dreams and actually doing so will help. <br /><br />You reiterated 'we' as a society, as a we being stagnant, but I also think 'we' are also a great force when individuals choose to no longer be passive. Even the 'little things' make a difference, or so I have found. Just caring makes a difference ...<br /><br />Oh, and I like the posts you have here. :)Alliehttp://acuriouspursuit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
