So as I sit here and wonder why there are still (in the 21st century) people who have no food, and no shelter.. the absolute absurdity of that fact. We as a human race have not been able or even at times willing to share the wealth and make this home we live on a place where no one has to wonder where their next meal is going to come from.. or where they will sleep & live the next day.
So much money is spent on just absurd things, from a personal to a country to a world perspective there is more than enough wealth to make sure we all.. ALL have a meal and shelter and a basic decent quality of life. Yet w argue.. even right now, people are angry about this very topic.. why? It makes me sad…
here is a just a little statistic.. that can put things into perspective.. just alil bit.. now before anyone blows a gasket and yells and screams this is just an example of a ratio ok?.. ok… did you know.. that the amount of money spent for ice cream in the USA (I AM NOT PICKING ON THE USA!!! this is about everywhere/everyone..ok??? ok…) but.. did you know.. that in 1year, the amount of money spent on ICE CREAM in a fiscal year, could be enough money to make sure everyone in the world has 3 meals a day… IN THE WORLD! yes.. ice cream = world .. just a small ratio fact, nothing to do with blame or anything else… just the fact that, in one year the same amount of money is spent on ice cream then it would cost to feed everyone on our planet 3meals a day (not gourmet meals!! just basic rations we all should have .. that type of food.. calm down..)
But do you see the point ..? the machine is massive, and so many people are stuck in cracks and broken areas they did not ask to be put in.. yet others live with so much wealth, and their world would end if they didn’t have a coffee.. or get their pedi’s & mani’s … its problem that has no one to blame, and every one of us to blame…
And we could fix this problem today if we really wanted to… if we really wanted to make this a better world, we could.
SO that just makes me wonder.. why don’t we?
You can find the statistics of that and all kinds of related ratio-spending on cnn.com and any archive fact-based site has these did you know statistics.. but seriously.. .. what are we doing?? countries are fighting, we are arguing about such small issues and big issues are whispered.. and then the things we don’t like in plain view are basically ..well they don’t exist.. unless we acknowledge them, and we just hate that. so usually we don’t… and people get hurt… for no good reason, other than.. my god is better than your god.. my country is better then yours, my idea is better than yours, my grass is greener then yours… my team is better then yours.. “We” do realize we all live on the same planet right? with “invisible” borders.. and mostly BS reasons to fight… we do realize that.. don’t we???
Well I suppose That’s all I have to say for the moment.. It’s just a thought, a simple little thought that maybe we should all {{Share The Wealth}} !!~
Have a great & safe weekend everyone.
