RE: Good or Bad... Hard to Say

"The concept of “good” and “bad” are merely the frames of an incomplete story that we tell based on a perspective and value we are comfortable to be in" - This is so true. The reason why we label people because it makes is easy for us to categorise and pigeon hole them instead of taking the time to show empathy or understand them. Reminds me of a video I saw this morning of this American guy who instead of deleting a scammy Nigerian email which landed in his inbox, he decided to respond differently. He send him a cheap camera via courier and taught him to take picture of his neighbourhood. The pictures that the Nigerian boy emailed him moved him so much, that he decided to post up a campaign on Kickstarter to create a photobook to raise funds for the boy and his poor neighbourhood. The American guy raised quite a substantial amount of which he wired to the boy. The boy subsequently wiped out a local store purchasing books, bags and stationeries for the poor kids in his neighbourhood.

Morale of the story: We can ALL make a difference if we consciously choose to respond differently.

Appreciate the comment Karin (?). I will make myself watch more inspirational videos that challenge our mind and post it and I look forward to hear your thoughts soon! Cheers.
