#FirstWorldProblems Are Not Problems

Hi everybody,

 It's been a long time since I've posted anything (too long), so I thought I should get back in the habit of blogging about the world we live in, and it's changing realities.



I'm going to start by sharing a video called The First World Problems read by Third World People. 



I thought this video was really interesting because of several reasons. When watching the video you have to remember these are people in third world countries who have never heard of ice cold water, or an iPhone charger, or even a cell phone itself. 

Don't be wasteful just because a new iPhone was created and all it added was a bug fix and a talking robot voice!


The video makes me think of everything I take advantage of, and I forget how fortunate and lucky I am to be able to have a bed, and a nice warm house with my family. I am also so fortunate to live in a time of peace, where I don't have to worry about whether I will be taken by a warlord or thrown into child labor. 

I hope you enjoy the video and think to yourself what you are lucky to have and appreciate in your life. 

Thanks,

Emmanuel
