What would you do?

This photograph was taken by a man named Kevin Carter. It’s a picture of a starving child in sub-Saharan Africa being stalked by a Vulture. This iconic picture took 20 minutes for Mr. Carter to set up. He had 20 minutes to make a decision to help or win a Pulitzer prize. He chose the Pulitzer and 3 months later he committed suicide.

How many times have we chosen to stand aside and look instead of act? Are you a talker or a doer?  Find a project that feeds your passion and provides care for others. Even if it’s as simple as giving someone starving something to eat.

As human beings we are at our best when things are at their worst..or are we?

  1. I just…don’t know what to say…there are no words…just tears

    1. I felt the same way, as well as anger. It just goes to show we need more compassion in this world. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
