As a child, I always knew that in the world there were rich people and there were poor people. I also always knew there are people who run our country and try to help the people become better as a nation. One thing I never understood and still don't understand is why all this money that's coming into the country is being wasted on unnecessary things and there are people who are starving, thirsty, and homeless.
I believe the things the President and everyone else say in the country say about helping people are lies. For example the White House, the White House have a million rooms. If they are so worried about homeless people why won't they take some people off the street and let them stay with them? Another example is the lottery, you have millions of dollars going to people who win the lottery, but you can't open up more shelters for poor people. Its crazy how the government wants to lower food stamps, but lottery prizes continue to rise.
Giving is the key a happy, long lasting life. I believe giving back to the community is one of the greatest things a person could do in this world. Me personally never been in a situation were I just really needed help as far as with money, food, shelter, etc., but that doesn't mean I don't understand those people situation. Whenever I see a homeless person on the street I give them money to at least help them to get a meal for that day.
Not only is giving a blessing, it also makes you feel better about yourself. After giving back to someone you'll be really happy. If you have more than enough for yourself, what is wrong with giving something to others? I used to be someone really stingy until I had a long talk with my mother. After the first time of giving someone something, I never been the same. After that day my life positively changed forever. Giving back is my happy place. Whenever I'm sad I go and help people. Some people don't have all the opportunities that I have in life. I give less fortunate people things to help them to let them know I care.
