What Kind Of World Are We Living In?

It's amazing... our "world" today. Everything that we live in... it's insane. Mind-blowingly enough what amazes me most is how we, "as Americans" live. We have an excess amount of luxury in our everyday lives that we don't even realize. We don't come to realize how luxurious our toilets are... something as small and something that we never seem to ever think or care about like our shoes or such material things. The US is over populating with obesity... obesity! Other countries are starving, they are DYING! Right around the corner of this spherical world of ours are dying countries, millions AND MILLIONS of people, children, EVERYONE is starving to death! While we, here in America, are dying because of obesity. How can one world seriously function through that knowledge and everything be okay? I really don't understand it. Cell phones, laptops, iPods... everything that we use in our everyday lives, here in America, don't exist in other deprived countries and "oddly" enough they are living without them. Do we really not care at all? What can they possibly think of us? How we'd rather buy an iPod than be generous enough to donate to the starving children for a year? But no... we have chosen to be selfish.

I really don't understand.

Oh how blessed we have become that through God, who has placed us in this rotting world (in a non-sarcastic way). Thank you Lord for our world today. It's not perfect. But I wouldn't have it any other way.You didn't create this world to be this way, it was our own human intentions. So I wouldn't ask you to change it because it will only change if we make it change.
