I have read and heard so many people lately state that “They
deserve it.” This is not from people accepting the results of some action that
they took; resulting in a negative reaction. God forbid that people actually
get what they deserve in life. These are the people that believe they deserve
everything good in life weather they worked for it, or stepped on others to get
what they want. Too bad karma doesn’t always work. There are too many that
would be regulated to some dark corner of a cesspool in life. They would need a
step ladder to simply climb up out of the gutter enough to even glimpse
daylight.
We all know those individuals. They are born into families
where an older relative amassed wealth that the rest of the family is feeding off
of. They spend all their time and money partying and enjoying life. They would
not spend a dollar to help a homeless family, or feed a starving child. That
would cut into their cash needed to impress others in their circle. It would be
a travesty if they couldn’t afford that third vacation home in whatever
location is trendy this year.
Let’s not forget the people that were born poor, but who
fought their way to the top of the human pyramid of success. The hated the
places they came from. Their hatred was so great that they used the backs of
others to reach the pinnacle of their success. Most of them have disdain for
the people that helped them, and for the people the y left in the past. All
they care about is reaching that next goal.
Maybe, it is time that we quit celebrating their successes. Let’s
be serious. Do we really need another reality television show about spoiled
little rich kids. Why read about the exploits of some ubber-rich individual
that just bought a small island of the coast of Timbuktu to escape the stress
of having to deal with their fans. These are not heroes that our children
should emulate. Let them find people that deserve more, but who do not cry for
more.
Let our youth see the beauty in that kindly old lady down the
street. No one ever recognizes her, but she has been making sandwiches for the
homeless for the last 20 years. She uses the money from her Social Security
check and donations of others to feed others that she feels are more needy than
she is. Her joy is seeing people smile when they have a meal feeling their
bellies.
Support the doctors that give their time and money to help
children in both the United States and in smaller countries. They buy medicines
and perform surgeries for those in need. You do not hear them brag about the
good they have done. They simply take their time off do what they feel needs to
be done. Unfortunately, it does inconvenience people such as Ms. Fatpurse. She
has to wait and extra few weeks to have her latest enhancements done. It is
terrible that she may have to survive as a C for a few more weeks.
Don’t forget about all those veterans that returned home.
There are many of them that are “damaged.” However, they do not complain. They
try and continue to be a part of society, although in slightly different ways.
Whenever you are down, think about the young soldier that lost both his legs in
an explosion. He didn’t give up on life, instead he did rehab and received new
legs. Now, he is running marathons with the help of artificial limbs. Tell me
you are having a bad day because they got your order wrong in the drive-thru.
“Stop the Insanity!” It is time that we gave our
children real heroes again. Why don’t you be their hero? I’m sure your child
can picture you with a cape and tights. Okay, maybe not tights for everyone.
