When She Speaks, You Listen: tha Lady Blogga "Life ..."
WoW!
So 2010 came in and is proving to be bigger and badder than 2009. Personally, my life has done a 360 since the start of the New Year. And well, for some parts of the rest of the world, it seems that way too. There are a lot of things going on. Some say it's the beginning of the end. I say it's just life progressing.
It's amazing to see how people react in a time of need. Everyone talks a lot of talk but when it comes down to it, that's all it is. Who's to say that you won't be needing some assistance of some kind one day. There are certain people who always put themselves before others and are willing to lend a hand at all costs. Then there are others who don't want to help but talk about what could be done. Then you have those that just don't care. At the end of the day, it's about treating people the way you want to be treated. I am not only talking about Haiti and the Earthquake efforts but in life itself. People don't realize that Karma is real. The way you treat people is going to come back to you when you least expect it. Pat Robertson and his ignorant way of thinking is going to find out about Karma real soon.
It doesn't take much to give a hand. I am learning first-hand about that as we speak. I am always there for others, willing to give to others. If I have 2 bucks and you need 1.50, I'll give it to you. That's just how I am. People sometimes take advantage of that or can't muster up the energy to reciprocate. But it's not going to change who I am.
I think that we, as a civilization, will be tested this year. This earthquake is the first of many situations that we are going to have to deal with. As a human race we need to learn how to come together and be there for one another. It's not about race, ethnicity or gender... We are people first.
I am no longer on Twitter but you can follow my posts on the blog.
