The Situation

I was listening to the radio this morning and as usual they were bashing Obama. I tried not to get irritated but unfortunately I did. Have people ever wondered that a lot of things they listen and see have an effect on them be it good or bad?
All of this bickering that goes on with politicians and party lines is terrible. If a person thinks they can do better after the record has shown every president has not been very successful, they’re sadly mistaken to put their hopes on someone else.
I don’t believe another person can fix the madness this world is in not even Obama, but I’m sure not going to credit someone else when history has proved the opposite; even though they may have good intentions the situation we’re in has compromised the best of their intention.
·         Foreclosures are high
·         Unemployment has skyrocketed
·         More people considered living on poverty level
·         Different diseases coming out on a daily basis
·         Uninsured people escalated
·         Crime taking over the streets
·         Debt is insane
·         Wars being fought and still no stability
·         Terrorism still a very real threat
I remember when there wasn’t a way to stop the petroleum spill many said, it would take God to intervene and bring relief.  The spill was supposedly stopped so I guess they didn’t need God but he wasn’t about to fix one thing and leave others as chaotic as they are, however, many still say they can see remnants of oil and I seriously doubt that after so much was spilled into the ocean they were able to clean everything up. Years after 9/11 more and more people have gotten sick because of the toxins their body took in and many have died and you’re telling me everything’s okay when it comes to the ocean? I’m not buying it.
Yesterday I saw a group of people rescue a man from under a car even though the situation was risky and the car could’ve blown up any minute, they knew someone was trapped there and they weren’t about to leave without trying to rescue him.
At first a group of women and men tried to lift the car and weren’t successful, when others saw what was going on they joined them and were able to lift the car and someone pull the man from under it. That kind of news deserves to be talked about because it shows the human spirit; there are still many people out there that are self-less showing they care about another.
Even though this world is in trouble for one brief moment they forgot what they may be going through to help someone who was in trouble; that took courage, love for another human being, strength and compassion; they thought about the person and the situation he was in, they wanted to help, that’s what was foremost in their mind and it moved them to action.
We may never know all their names unlike presidents, politicians, celebrities or reporters but ordinary people took an extraordinary moment and let the world see they were bonded by their love to help another and that kind of news we love to see, cheer and are moved by.
