Christian walked over to Talk’s door and let him out as he did every day. As he did, Christian glanced over his shoulder at the door behind him: the door to Action’s room. Christian sighed. He used to like Action. He worked well and accomplished much. But lately, Action had become difficult, time-consuming, and costly. Christian preferred Talk. Talk was easier to work with and worked for free. Closing the door behind him, Christian walked to the door leading outside with Talk at his heels. -by Joseph | A man holds a sign that says get rid of the poor. “Lazy!” he shouts. “Drunks!” People stop to argue against his remarks. “Ignorant!” “Rude.” “Not right.” But . . . when a man holds a “God bless” sign, asking for change we ignore the needy. No one stops. No one glances . . . What’s the difference in a man who hates the needy, not helping them in any way, and a man caring and not taking any action? There is no difference. We care. I know we do, but why don’t we take action? - by Maxine |
