Thank you Terry. It is comforting to know that others feel the same frustration and helplessness that I do...
I have spoken to people here and there (I am in a new town and don't know anyone) but I have talked to people at the pool in our complex (how extraneous does that sound...?! a pool? I was AT the pool, while these people suffered? See what I mean!? I can't even justify my own actions....it's so bad...) Anyway, I have spoken to people and everyone commisserates, but if I am at Walmart shopping and they are too, that 9 times out of 10, implies that they also, are just trying to get by in life....we're not talking about people that can AFFORD to give a paycheck or 3 weeks of their lives to help. Not that they don't WANT to, they just can't. There are people who can however. Are they so removed from the suffering in their own backyard? Or are they helping and we just don't hear about it? If I was a rich person.....(Don't we all say that!!) I would set up homes for these families....anything would be fine at this point I am sure....A mobile home park in a farmer's field in Texas would be heaven for these folks....I cannot understand why the rest of the world is not reacting the way I am?!! Perhaps they are and I just don't see it...I hope that is the case.....
