Ignorance is bliss. This statement was challenged to day in class. The question was would we be better off no knowing about the worlds starving children. After being bounced around for a bit the class agreed that it is better to know about it so we can do something. But do what? One of my classmates said that she gives money to charities to help theses children. Thats good but to me it seems a bit like a quick fix. To simply through money at a problem allows us not to feel guilty. Giving money does not take us off the hook. As Christians we should give as much as we can afford and preferably more, but our time is also wanted. Time is the most precious thing in this world. We don't get to go back. To go and help is truly helping. Giving money is important because supples need to be boughten, but we should never look over what we do.
