I want to save the world.

November 7, 2008

I can’t. I was in tears after I looked at these pictures from the Congo. I feel like we don’t have a clue. I remember in Hotel Rwanda there was a line that really bothers me and I think about it a lot. Here it is…

Paul Rusesabagina: I am glad that you have shot this footage and that the world will see it. It is the only way we have a chance that people might intervene.
Jack: Yeah and if no one intervenes, is it still a good thing to show?
Paul Rusesabagina: How can they not intervene when they witness such atrocities?
Jack: I think if people see this footage they’ll say, “oh my God that’s horrible,” and then go on eating their dinners.

I cry at these pictures, but what am I going to do about it? What can I do about it? I’m just one person, I can’t fix their problems.

I guess it all goes back to prayer. So please, pray for them with me.
