(9,722 posts)But remember the balance in life. Sometimes I need to get away from the ugly stories of humanity. I look to my neighbors. I live in a very poor area of Michigan, surrounded by wealth. In our neighborhood we take care of each other, share food, clothes, information, etc. We have a drive on now collecting blankets, coats, gloves, really any winter gear to distribute to the homeless around us. Poor, helping the poor. We get it that we are all in this together, then we do things. It may be as easy as allowing those with no internet access use of our computers. It may be as difficult as housing those that are homeless, least for a little while.
We are concerned with the assholes that are in charge of our country, but realize true change, true help and compassion begins in our neighborhood.
