Putting things in perspective

Recent earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear disasters put things in perspective don't they?

Those poor people now need the basics: food, clothing, shelter and safety. What do we need? Can we live without most of the trappings of our lives? Recent disasters are telling us something.

Perhaps we don't need an unlimited supply of stuff. Clean out your closets and donate the items. Instead of buying a new spring wardrobe, live with what you have for the next season. Send the money you would have spent to an organization that is helping the needy. That organization could be in the US or somewhere else around the world.

We don't need more stuff. Others need basics. Let's help each other.
