This week i was confronted with some disturbing realisations about my role as a member of this planet . The question was asked "what are you doing to make this world a better place" , the sad truth is that i and so many of my generation have done very little . We are isolated islands locked in a bubble of mxit , google talk , facebook etc . When John Donne said "no man is an Island" the concept of unlimited internet access had obviously never been thought of lol .
After a lengthy discussion with crawford brain trust (consisting of my friends and a bong) we came to the conclusion that number one , that we had the munchies and number two , that we as young people use the excuse that our contribution won't mean much so that we can validate not doing anything . The concept of the boy throwing one starfish into the sea at a time still holds true now and any small difference is still a difference . We then decided that we would make it out mission to start throwing our very own starfish into the sea .
If we all started thinking in this manner just think how much more we could get done , wether it be volunteering at your church or reading to the blind , anything helps . I am aware of the cliched nature of this post but fuck it ..... thats one starfish for me .
