look at the big picture

Human behaviour if documented, would make for interesting viewing. Countless hours are spent dissecting other people´s lives and their shortcomings. Very few minutes are spent enriching one´s mind with ideas that can help make the world a better place. I was very impressed and happy to read that this year the Time Person of the Year position has been given to the careworkers who are helping fight Ebola in Africa. I have been following the lives of these brave individuals through CNN and BBC and I must say it takes sheer guts and determination to leave behind your comfortable lives to help the sick ones get better. Ebola is a contagious disease and these people know that yet they are willing to take the risk and help those in need. These careworkers do not have the time to sit at the table discussing their colleagues, friends or relatives. They do not have the time or inclination to bring someone down with snide remarks or comments. To discuss weights, mood swings or even power or fame. They are out there, tackling a disease that shows no mercy. Many people have lost their lives after getting infected and so many more are in urgent need of medical help. As this year comes to an end and the new one hovers along the horizon, let us hope that we will find a solution that will save many innocent lives.
