It's pretty shameful to see some people in the world who have nothing but make a difference in other people's lives whereas those who have everything can only think of themselves.

I only mention this because last night while relaxing I stumbled across this show called "Daddy's Spoiled Little Girl." When I saw the title, I rolled my eyes. It was so painful to watch I hardly saw five minutes worth. What I saw in those five minutes though was disgracefully decadent, self-centered and wasteful.

A 15 year old Cali-Girl is throwing a birthday party. With her dad being a surgeon, cash was not a problem. Upon party supplies only, she spent over 800 dollars. 800 dollars? I couldn't believe it. Party supplies that will just be thrown away once they are used. 800 dollars. Wasted, gone, and for what? For a brats 15th birthday?

I turned the T.V. off. How sickening it is to see people so absorbed in themselves. That 800 dollars could have gone towards cancer research, diabetes funds, the Anti-AIDS movement in Africa, Humane Society, church funds, school donations. But no, the parents indulged into their daughters wants.

Afterwards, I thought of all the struggling people in the world. Even though they can barely support themselves, they always give when opportunities present themselves.

If I forge a good life for myself, I hope I don't turn into someone like that. If one does not help the world, one has no purpose. Living without a purpose is the same as being dead.
