This is a day late (or will be when I publish it) but still felt I should at least write about it. I was reading Pointless Banter (which if you aren’t reading you should be, it’s damn funny). Kevin wrote about his involvement with Blog Catalog’s “blogger’s unite“.

He wrote a great post about his lack of knowledge about some issues like Darfur and others. His message or goal or whatever you want to call it was that he needed/wanted to educate himself about these issues so he could become better aware of ways to help make an impact. This sentence “The biggest crime against humanity is apathy and I know I am guilty of it” really stuck out to me and made me think of my own involvement with certain human rights issues - and other issues important to me.

For a while I have had many ideas of ways that I can help people in need…I think a part of me, because of my background, has always wanted to do something more, give back and have an impact on those who don’t have the opportunities I have been provided.

I guess this is a post to ask you to check out Kevin’s article, which was also mentioned on CNN, and if you are moved to; learn about issues important to you, find out what you can do, and take action.

Thanks to Kevin’s post I will be looking at expediting my ideas and seeing how I can turn them into reality and have real impact, like I have always thought about.

Hopefully we can all turn our apathy into action and create real change.
