Solutions

"So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late." ~Lee Iacocca

It's so easy to look at the world and see problems: poverty, hunger, human trafficking, illiteracy, violence, war, contaminated water, AIDS, malaria, discrimination, racism, injustice... the list goes on and on and on. As far as things go, we really have made a truly spectacular mess out of this planet.

It's harder to see solutions.

It's easy to look in the face of one hungry child and decide that malnutrition is a problem that needs fixing; it takes more effort to look in the face of a full child and realize that someone, somewhere, has come up with at least one solution. The proof is standing there staring you in the face.

If there were no solutions to world hunger, then every human being on the planet would be hungry, yourself included.

If there were no solutions to grinding poverty, then there would be no rich.

There are solutions. Maybe not for the whole world at the same time, with the single tap of a wand. But, there is a solution for that hungry child standing in front of you or staring at you through your computer screen.

You don't have to find THE solution in order to find A solution. Pack a zipploc bag, put up a tent, go on a walk, or go on a "justice trip."  Try something crazy and see if it works. If it doesn't, try something else.
