Starving

We have no real perspective of what is going on in the world outside our own bubble…or rather outside our own stomach. We talk about how our hearts go out to the starving children in Africa, how it's so sad & heart-wrenching to see the Feed The Children commercials - so much, in fact, that we try not to watch them – and then literally in the next breath, complain that the pizza isn't here yet.

It makes us feel like a better person to lament at how sad it is to see their bloated little bellies....but their world is so far from in any way affecting our reality that we don't even see the irony of immediately then saying, "Where is the pizza? I'm starving".
