I don’t know this guy, nor do I know the woman or baby. My guess is that this guy doesn’t know them either. Why is it that it takes a disaster, a life-changing, life-taking, unprecedented disaster, before we as humans realize that we need to help each other? Why can’t this be every day life? Why can’t a nation of individuals see that it’s not about what you believe, it’s not about being offended over another’s beliefs, it’s not about finding any little thing to argue about. It’s about this. It’s truly about what you see in this picture. One person caring for another in need. That’s it. It should be that simple. It’s not, nor will it ever be — but when all else goes out the window, and it comes down to survival, when it comes to life or death, this is what it’s about. One person helping another. Not asking for anything in return, not asking for attention or media coverage, just a raw desire to help another person.
I pray for every one affected by this storm. I pray for their safety. But more than that. If…IF, there is any good whatsoever that can come from this storm, may it be that we, the individuals that make up the United States of America, open our eyes to see that when things go wrong, when they go very wrong, that we can come together as one, that we can see past the hate, that we can see past the color of skin, that we can see past party lines, that we can see people…as people…and treat them that way.
