The thing that surprise me most was probably the numbers. People in this world are such hogs that, people are buying new cars while others are repairing a bicycle, their only transportation. People make over 80,00 a year when others make less than 2 a day. So many people are hogging 85% of the money when the rest of the world has to split that small 15% between everyone. Some of the poorest countries are because these dictators are making pure gold mansions for themselves, and forcing the rest to be starved and labored. It upset me so much to believe that I might have a small house, but some people are begging for what I have. I have always known there are people less fortunate then me, but I didn't think starving or laboring for almost nothing. In other countries, there are children out on the streets lying straight through their teeth, just to earn a dinner for the night. Or the fact that other children are being forced as soldiers to fight, as a ten year old. Going into a Jewel, have you ever complained about the heat, or being cold. These people have markets on the ground, whatever the temperature might be. A lot of the people, have their stands for food on the ground, rather than in refrigerator. The fact that other kids can't come home from school, have a snack, and go play on an iPad or watch TV makes me want to help these countries.
