Man and lady are you still in adoration?

We see affection even in the names of the countries, so shouldn't we love the world too?? (Although it's more of romance instead of love for all...) I've always been thinking, if I have the chance to participate in saving the world, which one should come first - Environmental? Health & humanity? Children? Or the animals?

If I could spend months to years doing charity, which one should I go for? I cannot answer, and I do not know....BUT if I could live up to 100 years old, I know where will I be after I retire! The vision for the destiny is still blur, but I can sense that I'll be spending much time to help preserving mother earth in person, not just by donation.

What I can do right now is helping out with my ability - donate some money (not much but the sincerity is always more important) to the needy. Dad had always told me - CHARITY STARTS FROM YOUR HOME, if everyone loves and cares their own family and people around them, we don't even need charity organizations. One good deed per day from everyone is good enough for the world.

I did more than a good deed in this week....donations and vote for donation~ And I hope I can do my part to drive the spirit a little, by sharing it with everyone who has the ability to do so. Let's help these people... When we are complaining about our food tastes bad, someone out there died in hunger. Should we feel blessed? Look at these children...

Get a wrist band at just RM2 and your kindness will save more starving people. They didn't choose to live in this way, indeed their fate has decided for them... Lend a helping hand and deliver warmth to them. Warm the hearts of the people, not contribute to global warming. You can make a difference - contribute in the World Hunger Relief Week. Save your RM2 for a KFC Cheezy Wedges or Pizza Hut Parmesan Stick and contribute to charity. We can still get our Cheezy Wedges in the next meal, but they might not be seeing the world anymore in the next day...

And, help to vote in Tripadvisor's "More than Footprints" campaign. Tripadvisor is one of my favourite websites as it has given me much info on travelling ideas. I'm glad that despite business terms, this organization is also helping the world. They are giving away $1 MILLION to one of the organizations below:

• Conservation International
• Doctors Without Borders
• National Geographic
• The Nature Conservancy
• Save the Children

To me, it is not just about voting for which, it is one good opportunity for us to understand what is going on in the world today. Not just about politicss or economy, what is the trend of the share market today, or who won the beauty pageant contest... Take a look from another view on our mother earth.

We are the people who work to support our living, yet we still complain everyday that MONEY NOT ENOUGH, TIME NOT ENOUGH, NO MOOD....blah blah blah.... I really really salute these volunteers who strived to go against hard times and hell-like situations in order to save people and save the nature. Can you work hard without getting any income? They can... So what we can help? Give appreciation...and respect...

If I have a son or a daughter in future, I will definitely tell him or her, "Bie, whenever you save your pocket money, keep a little portion for the needy. May it be for human or animal or the environment, just make sure you contribute some love and care to the world after your family and friends." Doing charity doesn't need any appreciation, or wait until a charity dinner that urge for donation -- MR. XXX donated RM100k for XXX.... this is materialistic and yet the world today is so materialistic until lots of people has forgotten about the altruistic part in them.

No need to wait for another Tsunami or another Szichuan earthquake then only we do charity. Let's heal the world. If you still remember this...

HEAL THE WORLD

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel, fear or dread
We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
Make a better world

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations
Turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me

And always remember, charity starts from people around you; and if everyone do their part, we can reduce much suffer in the world. Do a good deed to yourself by taking care of our earth and its people, because we're a part of it.
