There's a movie based on a man named Patch Adams with Robin Wlliams in it (most of it is indeed quite fictional); that man graduated from my old school and I attended the lecture he gave when he revisited,
I wouldn't even call it a lecture, it was more of an eye opener,
Thru all he said, I cannot help but think he was indeed right, we live in a corporate world, where wealth is valued more than anything else, more than a country and it's citizens, this man spent his days humoring children and people injured & affected by the war, by the genocide, by everything and anything so unpleasant,
I watched as people who dressed up as clowns went around blowing balloons, riding unicycles, smiling, blowing bubbles for children in pain and strife,
I simply cried my eyes out, it was deeply moving to see a young 3 year old suffering from 3rd degree burn marks, or baby with 2 broken fingers and a fractured skull,
they had 20 clowns, in the end, there were 7 left becaue they couldn't take it,
this is what came of our bickering with countries and such, none of it is worth a child permanently scarred,
or a boy starving, he's set up tons of clinics, hospitals, around the world to people who can't afford it, to those who are "needy and lonely and needy"
I feel honored to even be in his presence and hear most of what he had to say,
he tlked of love, "love and love and care and act, act against the wrong-doings..." "If you hate, hate wars, hate the violence that's caused this..."
I'm just glad someone's doing something...
