it's sad that the figure of Father Christmas, represented in the capitalist world as someone only takes material gifts to children around the world, and those who have nothing to eat?
they are toys that will satisfy hunger?
this is what we intend to transmit to future generations?
Good video. We need to watch this and think about it much more often. And we need to start at home. We need to make sure that ALL Americans are safe, with health care, a roof over their heads, food in their stomach and clothes on their back.
And with the trillions of dollars left over from that operation, we need to reach out to the rest of the needy world and show them how it's done. We're Americans. We can do this in a heartbeat if we want to.
I am sure that if "we the people" chose to, we could do this in a heartbeat. but.. to make all the people wake up, give up there 52 inch plasma TVs .. to make all the people wake up and realize that Their Civics Classes in school were all lies.. to make enough people wake up and take back what should have been ours a long time ago .. to make people stand together.. this brother is my fight, my frustration, my pain, and my darkness
omg! i see your point... it's.. i don't know... well, i can't explane what i'm thinking... but amazing job, amazing thoughts... i would wish there would be more people like you, how thought about everybody else in this world.. (: once again; amazing video (: merry christmas to you too (:
I agree .. I didn't want to make everyone sad, I just think that everyone needs to keep things in mind.. and what I say in the video is true, I'm not exchanging gifts this year, and I'm not accepting any either .. some people have no idea how to take this.. I'm just trying to do My part
There are many poor children and many poor people in this world,we must help them in the way we can and not only on Christmas,they need our help every day.We can't forget about them never.
Children are the innocence from the world,the light from our lifes,the future and they believe in us.
Thank you for sharing this good and touching video,dear Maria(MITYF).
I agree entirely .. this year, I will not be exchanging presents with anyone .. I now know that the first 40 Christmas's I've spent on this tiny blue planet were selfish ones .. I plan to start making up for some of that time, and giving back, as much as I can, as often as I am able...
you're right, not just at Christmas either.. humanity isn't a "seasonal item" these feelings should be all year through.
I am so sorry for you loss .. the holidays must be hard for you. I hope that you are able to always remember her, then at least part of her will always be with you. I lost my mom when I was about your age, I'm over 40 now, it's hard sometimes, but it gets easier.
Thank you for sharing this video with me. It's so heartbreaking yet so important to be reminded of the unnecessary suffering of other human beings. We can make a difference. 5*s +
Nobody is free from sins, i might fight for the life and existance of all animals, but i'm ashamed of myself on this matter. Thank you very much for sharing this awfull fact that needs way more attention, this needs a solution!!! I'll give my children and wife their presents in name of tradition, but i'll wake my family up on this case on the day they recieve their presents, i'll try to wake them up just like you did with me!!!
thank you.. as in any kind of darkness, a wise person once said .. "it is better to light a single candle, then to curse the darkness"
All I'm saying, is don't take a day that should be maybe the most special day of the year for you family, and "drop a bomb" on them .. it might have bad results.. and I don't ever wish to be the catalyst for something like that... maybe just make the decision, that over the course of the next year, you'll work slowly towards awakening them.. and Others
Ron - A really good video. I have to admit, I am a little more selfish than you in some ways. I want America to start here, at home, to feed all the hungry people. Once we have taken care of those in the cities around us, then we can take care of the other world citizens that are hungry, uneducated or under-educated, those starving for knowledge, as well as food.
I would not consider that selfish. As a matter of fact, the next song I'm using in a video is "Man in The Mirror" by .. yeah.. Michael Jackson .. but, the line "... if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make that change." seems to fit for countries as well as individuals.
A policy our government should start abiding by.
Take care of my minx this weekend.. and thanks for watching, and commenting
I get really pissed off at this!!!There is a solution for World Hunger,we as people try our best,but it all comes down to the governments.There is PLENTY of food in the United World to feed the hungry,its just too sad the food cant get there,because there is countries in war and the sub government,take the food.Thank you
Thank You for your kind words, your support by rating, and sharing this video.
I agree.. enough is enough .. sort of like when I went to primary school.. decades, and decades ago, we were taught about sharing.. take one, and pass the rest to the others... not a tough concept.. There may be those who think it socialist of me, but why can't we all do that.. take what we need and pass at least something to someone else... maybe some day.. just may be..
Christmas is for giving, not 'buying'. The very act of generosity crosses the boundaries of guilt if it is received gratefully. One who has nothing is delighted with the tiniest, one who has too much materialistically, is delighted with pure love & affection. That is what Mother Theresa taught us in India - "Give until it hurts, but don't feel guilty for what you have not done."
Every year we Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus by buying trinkets no one wants with money we don't have just to be able to stack colorful boxes underneath a dying or dead tree covered in bling.
It would make so much more sense to take that money and send it directly to the people who are suffering everyday for lack of basic necessities. And after Christmas, to continue sending money to organizations that help end poverty, not perpetuate it.
and in the spring, we will all celebrate the Resurrection of Christ by hiding Easter Eggs, and eating Chocolate .. we've done this for generations now, and yet we wonder why our children have no moral or theological compass...
maybe there will be a day when we all get it right.. maybe it's up to all of us to share love, and set an example to the masses..Maybe, just maybe together we can make it a better place...
A message that needs to be read and shared by all. Christmas is about giving, not receiving, and there are so many out there that 'have not.' Thank you for posting this Ron, your message is definately important. If everyone would just share alittle more, so many would be benefit from that generousity. I love you.
