Harder Life Than You

I believe that someone else has a harder life than you. It seems that most people focus on what their problems are in life, and that no one can relate, because no one goes through, what you go through. Have you ever thought that someone has a life a lot harder than the trials you go through in an entire year? In the small villages of Uganda, hundreds of children travel every night to get to safety. The Civil War in Uganda, African is one of the most horrible wars I’ve ever heard about, not because it’s bloody and everyone’s dying, but Joseph Kony and his army the LAR (Lord’s Resistance Army) use children as their soldiers. They are kidnapped from everything they hold dear. These kids have lost everything- family, homes, and their childhood. You would think that these children cry all day, but they don’t think about the past, they think about the present, that they are still alive. The children in Uganda, sing, dance, and do things that make them happy.
Before I knew of these children, I took many things for granted. I thought that my life was so horrible, but then I learned of these poor children that go through the most dangerous things everyday, and come out singing and dancing. If only so many people could learn of this and understand that their life is easy, the world would be a better place. We could help those who had less, the ones who go through the unbelievable all day. It would help so many people around the world, and we could all be brothers and sisters with happy lives. Would there be no wars, fighting, crime, and every bad thing that happens in this world? I don’t think this will every happen though, because people are greedy, selfish, and unreasonable. I wish that we could all understand that our lives are easy, and we have it better off than someone else in the world. After reading this, do you still think your life is harder than anyone else’s?
