Do You Think You Have Problems?

Oh! my gosh! Poor little dear. Only if this place was near enough from my home, maybe we could have helped her. Kabul isn't a very rich country, that's why people are just rolling off in the streets.
I don't know if guys know it, but, this girl, she's most probably a muslim. Her name tells that. There is some kind of a gem which is called Marjan in Arabic. Hoping she finds a great place to stay and live. Only if some organization or something would go there and help them. These people need to migrate from a poor city to a richer one, they could get some help from there, a small job, but migrating needs fuel, enough supplies to survive. Praying that they find a better home soon. And hopefully, they'll be happy there and Marjan's dream to be a teacher will be fulfilled.

From your lips to God's ear. Prayers for Marjan from me too.

This is so sad. But these people had a choice on weather to bring a child into this world. This is an age old problem from the beginning of time that spans the entire globe. Can you love a child enough to NOT bring it into this world to see it starve and be beaten, raped and abused? Are you wise enough, moral enough not have sex or unprotected sex or will you continue to be selfess and give in to your primal needs and watch your child die of starvation.
As far as how God allows it. Lets take the blame ourselves here and not heap it onto a God we created to help us make it through the day because of fear and confusion.
And which God, the sun God, moon God, Allah, Budda, Zeus?
We humans blame everyone but ourselves.

Marigold2,

That picture broke my heart!!!

While I agree with you 99.99 percent, we're talking about a totally different culture here. Is birth control readily available? How about trying to educate the parents on abstinence.

I totally agree!!

Maybe if football players were satisfied with a stable house and a reliable car and a normal sized tv instead of millions a year to squander away as they pleased...

Ok, so there's lots of people who could do with less if they only cared about the people who could do with more. There's plenty enough resources to go around, its just unevenly distributed.
