Talk is Cheap

It always surprizes me how much compassion people bear for the misfortunate. Even though not all of them act right away,most of them have one or two basic ideas about how to feel better about themselves filling in that sympathy hole through giving away money, visit one or two orphanages at most.Somehow,u tend to think its just not enough, u could do alot more..something that would mean more to these individuals without hurting their pride, or perhaps incorporate them in activities that would would bring out their skills worthy of admirational "AW!" rather than pitiful "awww.."

We also should be aware of the fact that talking is not the sole method of communication,we do have much more integrated sensory and motor skills.Why cant people take up sign language for a change? we should these fully healthy, smart and passionate people be marginalized only because they cant talk back? I doubt its that difficult to learn, sure could be easier than german :) but if only it were integrated as much, people could really make a change in the lives of others without making them feel defective by any means.

speaking of sign language, i came across an old jerky video..David Armand miming with Nathalie Imbruglia to one of my favorite songs "Torn"
its a dorky video ..but its bound to crack a smile on someones face;)
enjoy
