h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ok, this is my first journal entry. Today I've realised that there is too much apathy in the world.

You see a young woman trying to board a bus with a pushchair and everybody just either sits on the bus or people tut under their breath wishing she would hurry up.

You see an beggar on the street and you walk straight past them, hoping that you won't catch their eyeline - it's easier that way.

You see a young woman crying her eyes out coming into work, it doesn't really matter - that's somebody elses problem. Nothing to do with me........

If only one person holds their hand out to one of these poor unfortunates, it will make their day a little lighter, or even a little bit more bearable.

Apathy is the downfall of an awful lot of people - if you show you care when someone else is feeling down, it might just come back threefold when you're feeling a little downtrodden yourself.

I know no-one else will read this, but hopefully i'll feel a little happier tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how it realises itself in my journal over the next few days?

anyhow, blessed be
