Tonight, I stood outside in my backyard, hoping to catch sight of some stars--particularly of my Lucky Star. To my dismay, when I looked up, the sky was full of clouds so thick, it made it nearly impossible to find any star at all. I turn my head and looked up towards another part of the sky and suddenly, the clouds parted. I saw one star, then another and then a third... I saw the stars, sparkling above me. I realized how small my problems really are.
How many people are at your house? How many people are on your block? How many people are there within the radius of 5 blocks? 1 mile? So how many people live in your city? County? State? How many are there in your country? How many are there in the world who are suffering from a grave disease, who are living in poverty, who are going hungry or who can't even afford to drink clean, fresh water? Answer: A lot.
And then there's ONE of you.
