So the headlines on CNN today read that 3/4's of the gas stations in Nashville were out of gas today. What a catastrophe! We won't be able to drive down to the mall or go down to the local McD's for lunch! Saddest day of our lives...
Ok, now think about the country of Zimbabwe.
They have had acute fuel shortages for almost a decade. People would wait in line for gas over night sometimes. Often times lines were at least 200 hundred cars long. I watched the news the other day and people were so upset to wait for 10 cars in a line. Somewhere in the Southeastern US.
We have become such a demanding society.
We only care about us. But seriously! Think about the people of Zimbabwe, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, Rwanada, Congo, and the list goes on. People are suffering daily around the world, and they become accustom to living lives that Americans could never ever dream about living.
Seriously lets try not to be so ignorant, and lets try and be thankful for what we have.
$5 a gallon for gas? What about $18 a gallon in Sierra Leone.
A bad economy? What about inflation at 70 MILLION PERCENT in Zimbabwe!
Hungry from taking a 24 hour fast? Try not eating for 120 hours in a row, a reality facing many people in Zimbabwe.
