A Whole New World...not exactly...

RWANDA - 800,000 were slaughtered in just seven years.
CAMBODIA - 2,000,000 murders under the Pol Pot regime from 1975-1979
HOLOCAUST - 6,000,000 friends and family annihilated
STALIN'S DICTATORSHIP - 7,000,000 murdered people by forced famine for 2 years in 1932 and 1933.
INDONESIA - Tsunami in the fall of 2004, 250,000 people died
DIRTY WATER - In less than the time of the average church service, 1,300 people will die around the world
9/11 - Nearly 3,000 people died
- The same number of people were slaughtered every 8 hours every day for 100 days in
the Rwanda genocide in 1994

Think about it.
We're a little luckier than we think.
Aren't we?
This post wasn't meant to be depressing or a "boo hoo" for the World.
This post is just a wakeup call.
This is life.
I've experienced two people in the past 3 weeks threaten suicide, and one committed.
It happens every day. Thousands of people in the world. Every day. Suicide.
It's life.
Open your eyes and take a look.

God Bless :)
