Do any of you ever watch the free news videos on www.cnn.com?
I just watched a video there, titled 'Niger's Smallest Victims'. Its about the famine in Niger, the lack of food, and how children are dying everyday because of that. I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. NEVER have a seen something SO SAD. It literally pierced my heart. Just looking at those innocent starving faces. I can totally see the pain in the eyes of those children, and just cannot imagine their pain. I keep thinking how restaurants and bakeries in developed parts of the world throw their food away at night because it isn't 'fresh' anymore, while people in other parts of the world don't have a bit of food to feed their children.
I don't know why I am posting this here. I just had to share my feelings with someone, because my heart is hurting so much after seeing that. That video would bring out the emotions of anyone who has even a bit of softness in their heart. Gosh, those poor, poor children. :( I wish I could feed them with my own hands. :( Its amazing and such a shame how we all tend to complain about the most minor, insignificant things, while forgetting the blessings we have in our lives.
If anyone wants to watch it, go to www.cnn.com, and under 'Watch Free Video', click on 'Niger's smallest Victims'. If it isn't in the front anymore, you can probably find it by clicking on Browse/Search.
'sigh' My heart hurts so badly for those people. No food to eat. That is just unimaginable. :(
