Too often, I've caught a person my age or younger moaning. "I had to walk so far to class today," they would exclaim in my earshot. While I'm sure it's human nature to complain, and believe me I do it too, I don't think they realise that I would give up everything just to be able to walk.
They're taking for granted something normal that someone else would value and treasure. Maybe that's just the way of the world now, but I had to write this. I think too often we classify things as a burden or a "First World problem".
Things that are trivial become a life or death scenario. How many of you have moaned about losing a charger?
Well, right at that moment, a child in a Third World country is dying from disease, to be blunt.
Back in high school, we learned about Live Below the Line, which is an initiative to spread awareness of poverty. We learned that many children in poverty-stricken areas live off only a few grains of rice a DAY.
