When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

---Mahatma Gandhi

This quote by Gandhi and this picture I believe go hand in hand. The picture of all the children coming together is really moving. It shows that everyone can make a difference, when we join together as one, fighting for one cause, wanting one goal. This can be accomplished when everyone gives a little of themselves.

I believe so many hardships and problems would be abolished if we all showed some care and love. People run around so busy with there own lives, so self centered that they don’t even notice what’s going on around them, they don’t see the bigger picture.

That’s why I chose this picture, I think it portrays the message I’m trying to support. People locked together, working together as one, will accomplish so much more.

Try not to get too wrapped up in your own lives; don’t forget the tragedy that’s going on around the block or around the world. People die daily from malnourishment and we throw out half our plates of food? It doesn’t make any sense.

I encourage everyone to take a moment out of their day to be thankful for what they have and to give to others who aren’t as well off.
