We are amid a pandemic and I cannot get over how selfish people have become. In times of fear, people are more likely to use every resource they have on themselves before they think about another person. I am not like that. I might ensure that I can sustain for the next month or two before opening my wallet but there are other ways that we can ensure ourselves the complexity of realizing the world is not about us, but about each other.

I once wrote on my own blog about a Humanitarian Challenge. This challenge was taken up by the lead singer of Coldplay. (I was surprised he even read my work at the time.) But he did. My challenge was a thirty-day challenge which can be adapted to a weekly or monthly challenge. Every great idea comes at a cost. At the time, I had overloaded my blog with too many ADDS, and it clogged. I lost all my articles relating to this challenge. Tears and anguish did not begin to describe how I felt that day.
