There are some things that should go unsaid, but there are a lot of instances where these things aren't apparent and need to be reiterated. Be a good person is one of those things.
The whole purpose of this blog, and of the Global Transfusion Movement as a whole for that matter, is to encourage others to go out and make the world a better place. Unfortunately, this is quite a large task, and there isn't a whole lot of help coming in from the world at large. This got me thinking about why this isn't happening the world over? Why isn't it human nature to make the world a better place? Why are we continuing to push against the societal good?
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer. If I did I assume there would be a peace prize in my future. What I do know is that we have to start standing up and fixing this problem now, before we reach the point of no return. We can fix this world. At least I hope we can fix it. We may already be too far gone at this point to be able to be cordial with one another again. We may be destined to continuously degrade beyond the point of casual disinterst to a genuine disdain or hatred for one another. But I personally can't imagine living in that world. I can't sit by and watch the world my kids are growing up in deteriorate into a world of hatred and strife.
I am making my declaration. I am taking a stand. I am not going to sit by and watch the world fall apart. And I'm not going to sit by and take baby steps any longer. The world needs to change and it needs to change on a global scale, and the only way the world is going to change on a global scale, is by recruiting people on a global scale. World change requires world participation. Let's go out and get it.
