[hometext] => My school was doing a canned food drive type-thing last week and you were supposed to bring can foods into your homeroom class. The morons in my homeroom said we needed to get extra credit for it, which spurred a lecture from my teacher about how giving is from the heart. The girl replied with something about how we need motivation to give. The teacher went on about how that was not right because you shouldn't have to be MOTIVATED to help someone worse off than you. I was amazed, as this was the first time I had ever agreed with this particular teacher. My classmates angered me because I didn't appreciate the lectures from the teacher- it made me feel like he may think all of the kids thought that way. Well thanks, but no thanks... I, for one, do not need to be motivated to help someone.
[bodytext] => Tired of your selfishness
and sick to death of your ignorance. All of you have your noses pointed to the sky, a mask over your eyes, and an empty space where your hearts should be. Your words come out with no thought to them, your ignorance and greed are not even visible to your own eyes. It sickens and annoys me to hear you whine and complain- not once, but twice, about having to give. None of you are poor, you all have something to give, why is it so hard, do you really need something in return? You're deaf! Time and time again you must be told: you shouldn't need something in return for giving. You can choose to give or not- whichever one is fine, but if you are choosing not to, don't cry to everyone that you won't give because it's "unfair" that you're not gaining anything. The only gain you should need is the satisfaction in your heart, knowing you've helped. But you, of course, are too blind to see...
