Selfish World.

It is 4:00 in the morning, and I have not been to bed yet. It has been a long time since I have been here. I just finished writing a small letter to Brother Arvind Dass. It was, I suppose, a good-bye. I can not go on any longer thinking that there is any way that I can help someone so far away. He is in India. I am in the USA. I do not have money for his orphanage, or Brother Thomas' orphanage, or for Brother Suresh. I don't know why I ever thought that somehow, I would find someone with compassion, who would care enough to reach out to these people in need. I even wrote to T.B.N. and Unicef. Not even a reply. There are so many in need. Yet, I know in my heart that there shouldn't be. Jesus said "We will always have our poor." Now why would He say that? Maybe because He knew that this world was selfish, and would only become more selfish with time. It has become more selfish and blind. How does one keep from becoming bitter or empty? There are so many people in need, and yet the world laughs, and looks the other way.
