PASSION

PASSION!

What is it?

Why do we need it?

Where is it found?

Passion is a pure determination to do something, It is a need not a want, something that burns within you. Whether you feel it or not it is there in all of us. What really gets you mad? Why? Would you change it if you could? That's passion.

Feel it, live it, act on it.

Where is all the passion in the world? I see it very rarely and when i do i notice people stand up and listen, for if you are not passionate about a subject why would others listen.

Become passionate!

Find that something that really gets on your goat.

Drives you mad. Hunt it down a change it.

For me it is a lot of things. I'm a very passionate person, some would say opinionated but i prefer to call it passionate as that's what it is to me.

Things like poverty, starvation, unfair work conditions, violence against women all these sorts of things drive me insane!

I cannot believe in this day and age children are dying from hunger, or simple childhood diseases the western world forgot about long ago.

How can this happen?

How can we let it?

If we do nothing to change it we are the problem!

In this world of want and throw away society surely we can all do our bit to help.

So there it is, my passion laid out.

I'll stop now or i'll go on forever but i urge evryone one of you to do something EVERYDAY to help change the worl.

NEVER FORGET YOUR PASSION

"QUOTE" from the Hunger Site

"HUNGER: DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS?

It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year.

About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.

Famine and wars cause about 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition. Families facing extreme poverty are simply unable to get enough food to eat.

In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of where their next meal would come from. Of these Americans, 12 million were children. The Hunger Site began on June 1, 1999.

Please remember to click every day to give help and hope to those with nowhere to turn. Every click counts in the life of a hungry person"

Now i don't know about you but these stats DISGUST me!

HOW can this be happening?

Why?

What can we do about it?

Follow the links on the right and find out, research, spread the word and most importantly TAKE ACTION!

Eyes shut to what?

OUR EYES ARE SHUT TIGHT!

To the way the world is now, the way it is heading.

The way people treat each other, speak to each other or ignore each other.

How can we all carry on our daily lives believing things are good, believing it's not our problem, hoping someone else will take a stand.

It's time we all open our eyes and see what's really important!

See we are all one people, there is only one race, THE HUMAN RACE!

We are all so busy trying to make a living, trying to buy that new car or take that fantastic holiday that we ignore our duty to give, to help others.

How can we all become so immune to the worry's of the world?

Children starving, women being beaten, families struggling to survive, big corporations taking advantage of the workers trying to feed thier families, Chopping down forests and persecuting animals. NONE of this is ok by me nor should it be by anyone.

If a simple click of the mouse each day can give free food to the starving imagine what could be achieved if people just cared enough!

Find out where your coffee comes from and how much actually goes to the farmer who grew it! Change brands, it's that simple.

Shop for NO SWEAT clothing

Sponsor a child

Volunteer

Buy gifts from remote communities

Join a club

Walk against want

Tell a friend

Talk about the issues

There are so many easy ways to help yet we all choose to do nothing instead.

WHY? I don't know.

I think people need to reach deep inside and find out who there really are, who they wish to become and the type of world they want to live in, raise their children in and then take steps to create that world. A person, coffee or conversation at a time.

OPEN YOUR EYES - THEN HELP OPEN SOMEONE ELSES.
