America has lived on the false dream for so long instead of the real world where everything is given to us not as a right (as so many kids seem to think these days) but, by earned through working for them.<br />We all should stop worshiping money and greed and start really showing care and compassion for those less fortunate than us. When I think of how others live in dreadful conditions and such poverty, that eating once a day to a child is such a gift, I am truly humbled when I think of how rich I am compared to them. <br />This is deep and heartfelt.<br />Happy July 4th Laurie.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
