When did sustaining human life become "another thing to do" on our lists to improve the world? How have human beings succombed to the illusion that some things are more important than human life? Though mega America wouldn't know true poverty if it sucked the life out of us one by one, we are living in a poverty of the soul. So many are seeking to be fulfilled, to find succcess, to reach the maximum level of happiness, but what they do not know is that happiness is a shared emotion and can be found in the eyes of another. When a quarter of the world's children are malnourished and when more than half of the 11 million deaths of children under five years-old, each year, can be attributed to malnutrition, we have a major problem.
How can we, as individuals, make a difference? Decide you want to, and do it. Do the research, make the effort, and you may find that happiness is an altruistic byproduct. Read article, China's Beat on World Hunger & The Micah Challenge.
