How can it be that as we that are given more rights and privileges in more developed countries, we can also be so selfish and conceited? It is quite appalling, the extent of our own superficial neediness. There are those that live in less developed countries, such as Sierra Leone. Young girls there, that struggle from day to day, trying to get by life and actually live. While we are constantly complaining of our own lives, that we should actually be complacent with. It appears ignorant and offensive that we should constantly use terms such as “fml”, when those young girls, that have lost their entire families, and undergo the terrors of native tribal wars would never utter such words. That is the thing, they never complain about their lives. If, even they can be complacent with their own lives, why cant we? If an 8 year old girl from Somalia can retrieve, even dirty water, and supply her younger brother with food so that they may stay alive, never complaining about the far greater workload she has on her shoulders, going on a 5 mile trek from her home to the closest watering hole, as compared to our 8 year olds, that whine and complain, always asking for things, such as ipods, why cant we be a little more complacent? It is repulsive, how spoiled and greedy we have become. It seems to me that those that have nothing to complain about, have often grown full of themselves and always ask for more, while those that have nothing in the world to call their own, are content with, what appears to us as the most minuscule things, such as food, water, a place to sleep at night. Things may seem to appear that the privileged have spoil themselves beyond belief, and then they continue to even say that they’ve done a good deed after donating a few dollars to one of the organization of the UN. We fail to realize that they are only a few dollars of the great wealth and property that we actually own.  When actually, contrary to popular belief, much of this money does not actually get to the young girls that must fear getting raped, shot, or starved to death. It is truly up to us to become  thankful for what we have and help others with the wealth endowed upon us.
