We all have too much. Just think of the impact if one year everyone spent every cent of their Christmas money on charities rather than each other buying more 'stuff'. What an impact that would make, even if for just one year. And furthermore, it's so sad to hear stories like today where some poor man who worked at Walmart got trampled to death by people who rushed into the store the get the best deal, to get there first before the next guy, me me me me me me me. The "Me ME ME" mentality, as I like to call it, seems to spreading like a virus in this country, weakening us further each and every day. What a horrible thing. Honestly it makes me want to throw up. Love thy neighbor. Open the door for him. Look him in the eye and tell him 'Hello'. Help him up when he falls. Why have we stopped doing this for each other? This is so true. We all have too much.
