glad.

i'm so glad that i live in a place where nothing really tragic ever happens. i mean that nothing of epic proportions ever goes down, here, where i am settled. in other places around the world, bad things happen everyday, whether it be famine, war, natural disasters, and so forth. whenever i think about what goes on in those places, i feel sad that they have to go through that and they have no way of getting out of their situation. and, i feel spoiled to have such a good life. i want to be able to help them out, but i don't have a way to help them out. i can find one, but laziness and lack of perseverance prevents me from doing so.
plus, there are some places where people can't express themselves. cough* north korea. 
i feel so fortunate to be able to live in a place where self-expression is encouraged.
