The Tyler Hayes

1. Our egos
2. Our money
3. Ourselves

Don’t think so?

1. Why Won’t Cons Admit Bush Didn’t Keep Us Safe on 9/11? (CNN on Youtube)
2. Ponzi scheme, Bernard Madoff (Wikipedia)
3. Palestinian Boy Used as Human Shield

Yikes.

What is more important than human life? If you can give me even one thing more important than human life, and have 10 people agree with you in the comments section, I will buy you any shirt from Threadless. Seriously.

Do you believe in human rights? (You can read human rights as defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) of 1948). I do.

Final question: So if a) human life is the most important thing, and b) human rights are the second-most important thing, why isn’t our first priority helping those that are being deprived of their human rights?

Here’s why I’m NOT helping those that are being deprived of their human rights:
I’m overwhelmed. There are a million, billion charities to give to. There are billions of people being deprived of their human rights. There are so many social events, causes, rallies, organizations, committees, etc. that I just don’t even know where to start anymore. I feel like I’m just a statistic, like I’m just another penny in the well. And is that my fault? No. Because no one is saying “Here, look, we’ll show you instantly how you’re making a change,” and then lining that up with their & my short- and long-term goals.

This one is important people. If you feel like me, overwhelmed, just say so in the comments section.

NOTE: Yes, I do donate money to charity. And I sponsor a child in Colombia. But do I feel like I’m really making much of a difference on anything else in the world? No.
