Get out. Get out now. While you still have a soul.

You KNOW it’s wrong for J&J to bare its teeth and go after the Red Cross… You KNOW it’s wrong to put so much corporate money in front of help for so much human suffering.

You can bow to your corporate bosses and half-heartedly put these half-hearted posts on the blog, but you KNOW it’s wrong.

You can put on a glib online face and type away at your desk, but in your heart you know your hands would be put to much better use in the field in war-torn, natural disaster-ravaged countries.

You could manning a makeshift table outside of a collapsed church in Peru, pinning up the names of missing children and missing parents hoping to reconnect after the earthquake. You could be handing out blankets in Chetumal, covering trembling young mothers as they crouch in a shelter after the last wave of the hurricane hit.

You could be at the Red Cross outpost down the street, here in the U.S., assembling care packages for a family whose house burned down when they were already at their breaking point.

Do more.

BE more.

Reclaim your soul.

Do what you know is right. And it’s not putting up a half-hearted face for Johnson & Johnson as they suck the names off that table, the blankets out of the hands of that mother and the care package out of the reach of that family.

Yikes — looks like I made a mistake. The study included men AND women. That said, I do tend to agree with your husband! : )

Thanks for the link.
