Right from Wrong

I was always told to never take things for granted...but as my eyes age I realize things that were not always so apparent. The truth doesn't hurt; well if it does, its surely not as bad as finding out you've been lied to all your life. But that's life stuff doesn't turn out like how you plan it and it's real hard to manage. But anyways back to what I was saying, I was always told to never take things for granted because they might...is it really so bad that I don't care so much for the problems of other people? What did anyone ever do for me, I give credit where credit is due and yet if I don't donate 25 cents to starving children of Africa I'm somehow a bad man, correction, "the devil in disguise"; in reality almost all the people who donate, and look down upon me because I don't, don't know why they're giving money other than the fact that there are supposedly "starving children in Africa." Do they even know where Africa is on the map? Do you know? Do you know that 15 million children die each year because of hunger? Do you? Do you know that for the price of one BGM-109 tomahawk cruise missile a school of hungry children could be fed lunch every day for 5 years? Did you? WEll OF COURSE YOU DID! AFTER ALL thats the reason you're donating and looking down upon me because i didn't...right?But why should I care, just cause it's the right thing to do? What is right? What is wrong? I always thought that giving to the needy was the right thing to do; but If try to take from the rich and give to the poor I find myself in a 7 by 10 foot cell looking through bars. Wasn't I doing the right thing? No no, couldn't be the right thing, I'm behind bars after all. Then once I'm released I stick to myself only worrying about myself and now I'm the man everyone frowns upon, a lost cause without a soul. But anyways back to what I was saying I was always told to never take things for granted because they might not be there tomorrow, but how can I commit such an act when no one has ever returned the favor to me...so call me the devil if it makes you feel better about yourself. By the way... the first tomahawk missile ever made cost six hundred thousand dollars, now your hate upon me is slightly more justified.
