People need to keep things in perspective. Someone was telling me how upset she was because she couldn't afford to buy nice presents for her (grown) kids this Christmas. I said that isn't important. What is important is my friend who found out last week that she has terminal cancer. Or the Haitians fleeing for their lives but to where? That is important. Whether people treat others with charity and love. That is important.
When you see the suffering around the world you really realize what is important. And don't say, "Well, it's important to me!" What is important to you is whether you have enough food to survive and a roof over your head to keep you dry and warm. Or whether you have good health. Or if you have someone to love or loves you. If you have those things, then consider yourself to be the riches person in the world.
