Give It Back Why Don't Cha?
May 22nd 2009 01:52
If there is one thing that has me heated throughout these times of financial strife, it is the celebrities that spend all of their money on material things that they really do not need. Most of these items will be sold on eBay after their death many years from now, or they will be forced to liquidate far before then - why don't they just give people who NEED what they NEED.
Let me clarify. If your house is 60,000 square feet and it is your and your dog, then there is a therapist you can see about your problem. There are huge sections of land that can be filled with electricity generating windmills - why not spend some money on that? There are apartment buildings in disrepair with children who live in filth with rats and roaches - why not fix that?
There are a million and one ways to spend that extra cash and these are the things that will really matter in life. My grandfather used to tell me, if you can change just one life you have accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. Mine? I once sat on the ground next to a stranger that had a stroke and held his hand covered in vomit until the medics arrived. He later told his wife that an angel kept him alive. It cost nothing - but it was a change for the better. Imagine what a few hundred thousand dollars could do!
