out of sight, out of mind





please think about this.

You drink a cup of star bucks coffee.
A child living at another end of the world gulps down rain water.

You buy a new pair of top grade crocs.
Someone else you absolutely have no concern for drags his bare, bony feet along parched sand.

You buy new clothes, every year, at new year.
a skinny man wears half of his shirt. It used to be without holes. But now you wouldn't tell it was a shirt if he wasn't clothed in it.

You are late for class, and you hop in a cab.
They don't even know what a cab is, for goodness sake.

You look at your plate of food. So full, you tell yourself. And you walk away from the table.
Someone out there desperately wishes that someone over here would eat less and give more.

We buy new gadgets and complain about older ones.
They can't even call for an ambulance even if they're about to d-i-e.

And the problem is, although we could and sometimes combine our efforts and save lives, the plain fact is-

WE ABSOLUTELY DON'T CARE.

We buy tissue paper from poor handicapped aunties and poor old, elderly folks. But when the problem is out of sight, something snaps, and it is thrown out of our minds. Even if it's something really, really BIG.

Out of sight, out of mind?

I wouldn't like to think so.

But i do.

Thats why families drift away when they stay away from each other for too long a time.
Four years is too much for a daughter's mind, i guess?

BUT!
ending on a happy note!

Do watch this show called
We're back! - A dinosaur's story
