The photo that shocked the world

I got this email three years ago, and still never fails to struck me... Sometimes we need to be aware of what is happening around us, in order for us to stop complaining and just be thankful...
--------------

He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are
accomplished by diligence and labor.


"I felt very fortunate to live in this part of the world.
I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I promise not to waste water. I pray that this little boy be alleviated from his suffering.

I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the suffering in the
world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.
I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us about how
fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for
granted.

" Pulitzer 1994 - Kevin Carter

The photo in the mail is the "Pulitzer prize" winning photo in 1994 durng the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards the United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.

The vulture is waiting for the child to die so he can eat it. This picture shocjed the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter, who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.

Three months later he committed suicide due to depression..."

Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the
food we waste daily..." MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE FROM SUFFERING!!!!
Please don't break this and keep on forwarding it to all our friends. On this good day, let's make a prayer for the suffering in any place around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others.
