Christmas Shopping.
Something has come over me recently, I think it is a deep spiritual realisation, it makes me depressed, but enlighened at the same time. I was shopping for food for christmas today, I was walking around the store which was full of people, buying all the food they can get there hands on I had a heap of food in my basket, and I suddenly started crying, luckily I had my sunglasses on.
I looked at my food, so much of it, and thought "I don't need all of this shit!" I looked around at all the people and thought, what the fuck is this? Since when is christmas a license to stuff your face until you cannot move? I thought christmas was about giving to those who are in need. The money that would have paid for the food that was in some people's trolley's could have bought a family's food for a whole year in some countries. Yes, christmas is about celebrating, but I am not going to fall into ignorance, and stuff my face full of food which would be much more appreciated by someone who needs it, literally in a matter of life and death.
I am going to take a walk on christmas day, hoping to find someone who needs some help, and I will help them.
christmas to me is a time of giving, I believe thats what it should be.

There is just too much \"too much-ness\" in the world and it\'s opposite...not-enough-ness. I wish too for and end to excess and for balance for people in their lives, our lives....hope you have comfort and joy in your days, .....
