Re: StandUP - Renetto
It took me 20 minutes to clean off my bed, so I don't feel guilty about making a 10-minute video. I do feel a little guilty at being so privileged in a world that's so underprivileged. When I can, I try to share my privilege with others. I think that's what everyone should do. Most certainly, we should hold the poor accountable as far as learning skills and plying them. Until they have real opportunities, however, there's nothing at all wrong with charity. Charity is the highest form of Love we can give.We don't have to choose between giving someone a fish and teaching them to fish. We should teach them how to fish, and until they learn it well...GIVE THEM FISH!After I'd made the video, I noticed that the site Renetto linked says it right: stand against poverty.I've been poor and I've been unpoor, and I'm very grateful there were people willing to give me handouts until I could get back on my feet.After you're done standing, start walking toward and working for what you believe in.GBU, MDJ.Music: Opening--"We Can Make A Difference", composed by David Mullen & Mark Heimermann, performed by Jaci Velasquez on her HEAVENLY PLACE album.Ending--"We Will Overcome", composed by Bob Farrell, Mark Heimermann & Regie Hamm, performed by Jaci Velasquez on her HEAVENLY PLACE album.
