It must be a side effect of being in Key Club, but lately my thoughts have all centered on community service, helping others, and living by the Golden Rule of society. Well, not all of my thoughts, but most--I mean, last night I had a dream that I was laying the ground work for a new Key Club community service project.
But, all weirdness aside; let me get to the point. My point is that helping others and caring about people in faraway nations is the first step to bringing the 170 or so countries in this world a little closer together.
Now, I know that my topic is traveling and I haven't been very faithful to this topic, but I have to veer slightly away from that topic to talk about something that affects us all--every person in this world.
Caring about others is the first step to bringing peace to this world. Community service is just the next step. Volunteering for others--whether it be to walk your elderly neighbor to the store, to participate in an AIDs Run, or raising awareness about the situation in Darfur--will pay off even if you can't see the results immediately.
My goal in life is to help as many people as I can, to touch as many lives as possible. I know that I can't accomplish this on my own--I mean, God, I'm only one person.
How can I make a difference?
You might think the same thing every once in a while. The answer is very simple--by being there for your fellow citizens of the world. If everybody cared about each other and looked out for one another, can't you imagine what a better world we'd be living in?
I know what I can do.
Do you?
welcome to the planet.
