sharing your joy

The world is said to be full of joy and happiness, and in some sense this ideology exists and it is living and breathing. This exists in such places like the North America and Europe and it can be seen all around those nations/. It can be seen on street corners, in the markets stores, in restaurants, and even in the privacy of their homes. But what people are not informed is that in places outside North America and Europe, places like third world nations such as the countries in Africa and some countries in Asia, happiness in a drought, happiness does not come on a platter of gold people in those geographical locations suffer from the acts of genocide, diseases epidemics and the most common war which is the battle against poverty.
What I believe that should be done is to share some of our joy and happiness with such places in need by boosting educational efforts, financial efforts, and intervening in unnecessary mass killings.
So before you say today is just another boring day and there is nothing else to do, look for ways that you can share your happiness and joy and look for ways to spread them to such unfortunate country. even as little as you can do it is making someone smile in an unfortunate fate.

the idea of blogging

my first reaction or thought to the word blogging was that it was time for the world to know what goes on in my labyrinth mind. blogging is only somthing that i have heard of in the recent past but it had never really occured to me to post some of my imaginative ideas to the public. Reading an article about blogging by anna selleh and the final blog of the american soldier who was killed in iraq, both articles putt alot of emphasies on blogging. The first article by anna salleh indicates that blogging is a great way for students to be interactive and ideally creative. Students will be willing to comment on thoughts they are for or against. As of my thoughts on the blog of the american soldier, he indicates that blogging was one of the best things that he discovered. he said it was like away of escape from the worlds way of thinking, and it was away to express his well detailed and analyzed ideas.
This soldier posted his final thoughts on the blogging site and it shows his great trust in blogging and also tells me that blogging cannot be horrible but can be used for good.
