Haiti

You know, I don't really read much about the news.

Take Haiti, for example.

What the heck happened there?

There was an earthquake, I know that. The capitol got destroyed, I know that. I know that people are sad.

But there's so much I don't know.

I don't know how many people got killed, or lost something because of this quake. I don't know how much damage, perhaps irreparable, has been done to this place. Heck, I barely know what's happening when it isn't having a disaster.

And that's bad. For all we talk about knowing people, or as much as I do, I still don't know what's happening in Haiti now, or before, or later. Usually, I don't even want to know. What does it have to do with me? What does anything you do have to do with me?

But then I think about those people in Haiti, even (and especially) the ones that I don't know. And I want to help them, cause that's what I really want to do. Because it's not right to just ignore people because you don't want to deal with them.

You have to deal with them.

So I'm gonna make sure that I know about Haiti now, so that I can give a care about them. And next that they have a disaster, I'm gonna care about them too.
