reality check

sometimes, really, i just don't know....

a friend just sent me this article. i wasn't expecting an uplifting read, but as i went through the lines, i found myself fill with sorrow and disgust at the plight of so many billions out there. what did i do to deserve the life i lead, the people around me, the comfort and luxury? why do these billions suffer so? is karma enough to explain everything away? is it really?

and i know i ask these questions from time to time (even on this blog), but really - why am i not grateful beyond belief and therefore ridiculously happy to be where i am? why?
