The article says "i come first. after my needs are met, i will give you the leftovers, the things i do not need to make my life comfortable." I have a cousin who exactly resembles this statement. She is like too many people today. To arrogant and selfish, and feel like they are doing something really great by donating their small clothes or toys. Not that its bad to donate them, but they only do it because they no longer need the things for themselves.
I went to Costa Rica last year and saw some very poor people. They were all truely happy though. They appreciate what they have even though it was not much. They were all willing to share food and their small houses with us. I learned to appreciate things i have too, like a hot shower, when a lot of people dont even have water to drink. I also learned that wealthy people only make themselves unhappy with greed and arrogance.

ReplyDeletethat statement seems to sum up the article very well. it makes sense because alot of people put themselves first with everything but somethings can wait for the needs of others to be met first.
