"A few observation and much reasoning lead to error, many observations and a little reasoning to truth." —Alexis Carrel. The main objective of this blog is to share my thoughts and feelings about life's difficult questions, to gain further knowledge and to draw conclusions by reasoning. Please note I am particularly interested in learning and exchanging a few ideas, rather than debating.

The Dinner Buffet
As I was stuffing myself at the buffet tonight, I suddenly felt a bit of guilt come across my conscience. Here, I am able to eat as much food as possible, yet there are children starving in the world. I normally eat with my "partner in crime", but tonight I ate alone and perhaps that is the reason I am feelt guilty. With a moment of peace, I am able to reflect on how good I really have it. No, I am by no means rich or even near wealthy. In my perspective, I live a well-balanced life. I can afford to buy most things, but I do need watch my budget. My wife is able to stay home with the kids, so we have enough income to support the family. Latley, I have been thinging about helping children in need of education. Perhaps, when I retire I'll make trip to Africa and teach. I believe I can give more to society.. than my money for dinner buffets. I ask: Do we all owe a little something back to society?
