There's a lot in mind when I watch this video, words can't even begin to describe it. I'm overwhelmed by sadness and disgust of the way the world has become. I see one boy getting a normal well deserved life and the other, I see kids that are living a very painful life that dont know anything but to be slaves in a sweatshop for the people that are getting a well deserved life. It's kind of ironic how we as people take things for granted and we don't really think about it until someone points it out to us. Just like that good old sang "you don't know what you have until you lose it". This is something I try to remind myself of everyday just because I don't want to classify myself as one of those people, but we do it anyways. It's so easy to forget the good things in life when life moves so fast and we constantly seek for more, as if what we had wasn't good enough to begin with. In many ways I can relate to both aspects of the story, one the shitty life that you are given, and two a glimpse of what a great well deserving life can be. The reality is that some of us don't have it quite so lucky, and many of us tend to take it for granted and forget to stop and think about the other people who have it far worse. Many don't even care because it has no concern to them, but for others there are many that hurt. I think the general argument is that certain things tend to go unoticed until you point it out for them. As americans we have also become spoiled, that everything we enjoy is at someone else's cost. I do think that these are very compelling arguments being stated. Alot of peolpe are afraid to speak up in a sense or they just don't care because they are to concerned with them selves. But I think that it is nessecary for someone to speak for them, becasue they might not ever have that chance.
Your absolutely right, the saying "you don't know what you've got until you lose it". That saying never gets old, I think Janet Jackson made a song about that lol. Anyways I believe that everyone has had it tough growing up, just some people have it tougher than others, especially in this world. It's full of so much corruption and evil, the only thing we can hope for one day is world peace, and that the world looks upon itself as a precious thing because that is what life is. You really made a good point about how things go unnoticed until you point them out, that's very true. You have been doing a good job your self, and continue to keep it ROLLING!!
ReplyDeleteI don’t think either the American boy or the boy making the shoes have the life they should have. They are both control by material possessions. The world our at least the part of the world that represses the rest has lost touch with what’s really valuable. We have become so independent and materialistic that we don’t care about other. If the world doesn’t change soon it will devour itself.
