In regards to your standing united for Haiti, I was wondering if you would consider standing united for some other things.....
Mr. Presidents, as stated in an article about you, you 'send an unmistakable message to the people of Haiti and the world..' Since you hold such large influence over such a vast crowd of people, I was wondering if you would like to endorse some other good endeavors.
Mr. Presidents, I would love it if you could stand united for all those victims of the world-wide plague of sex trafficking. Maybe you could even just mention it a little more than how our economy is doing, or which country we need to invade next.... or, could you please just stick it a little higher on the priority list than 'payments made for weapons of war' ? That would be great. Thanks.
Oh, and Mr. Presidents, There's this other thing too, do you think you could stand united on children dying of starvation? That's kind of a big one. statistically, 18,277 people (not all children) have died of starvation TODAY. I'm no genius, but that's a lot.
There's another thing too, Mr. Presidents, could you convince all of us that we don't really need our cell phones that much, or our laptops, or our cd players and ipods, unless of course we want to speak up to the people who make them..... you see, Mr. Presidents, maybe you weren't aware, but there's an ore used for those things, and it mostly comes from the Congo. I don't know if you know much about the situation over there, but there's a lot of killing and rape and war going on over there, and I think they might be using some of the money they get from that ore for the war. You might want to look into that. If we all want to keep our laptops and cell phones, perhaps we should say something....
Mr. Presidents, I was also wondering if you wouldn't mind, could you also stand united for people sharing all their possessions freely among each other? see, it might help eradicate that thing termed 'poverty'. And I was wondering to, could you promote not gossiping or slandering others? You see, this in the end would lead to much less anger and hurt among us all... I was also wondering if you could stand united in being honest, and not pretentious....... People don't really get anywhere good by pretending to be perfect and nice. I was also wondering, I know this is a lot, but could you promote loving people the way Jesus loved us? ....oh, wait, that might come off as mixing religion with politics....that's not really acceptable, is it? But that's ok, as long as you say we really need to pray whenever these sorts of huge disasters happen.
But seriously, Mr. Presidents, do you think you could tell people to stop putting so much responsibility on you and the government? Could you tell them that if they just started learning to love and take care of each other, that you wouldn't have to work so hard to try and force people to have fake empathy for each other? I really think it would work a lot better than the system that is in place. Of course, Mr. Presidents that might make you only as important as everyone else, but it's a very worthy sacrifice.
I've made a short attachment, just incase you are unclear as to what I mean when I say 'love', in terms of this better system.
The Way of Love
13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
3 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Love One Another
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
