Did you know?

Around the world 
Children are starving. Wives are bleeding. Countries are failing.
Parents are greiving.
Soldiers are dying. People are freezing.

Just today 
You walked past a widow. You walked past an orphan.
You walked past an impoverished parent.
You walked past a troubled mind, a worried soul, a broken heart.

What did you do?

You worried about your midterm.

You griped about your friends.

You cried about your boyfriend.

You vocalized your hunger.

You complained about your weight.

You just kept walking.

So what's this about? 
It's about love.
It's about finding who you are.

It's about discovering the deeper meaning.

It's about utilizing patience.

It's about passion.

It's about realizing the worth of each stranger.
It's about speaking softly.

It's about listening.

It's about freedom.

It's about individuality.

It's about service.

It's about gratitude.
It's about doing something.
It's about being someone.

Stop walking.
Stop talking.
Start acting.
