#Kony2012

Task #1:
Stop whatever it is you're doing right now, take thirty minutes out of your seemingly busy day, and watch every second of thisCry, get angry, scream, sit in silence, drop your jaw as far as it will go, do whatever you need to do to make it through the next half hour.

Did you watch? Now move on to the next task.

Task #2:
Let go of your selfish desires to simply jump back into your list of things that need to get done and your everyday routine. Donate. Pray. Tell someone (lots of someones) to watch this. Ask them to spread the word to more someones. GET INVOLVED. There is no action too small, just as long as you do something. ANYTHING. Let this break your heart into billions of pieces, but move past a tear shed for injustice and embrace compassion. Because compassion is different than most things we feel. In fact, it's not a feeling at all. It's what comes after the feelings. Compassion is an action. It's what you do after your heart is broken.

So what will you do? What will I do? Imagine what we could accomplish if we all did a little. A lot of a little is a lot. So do a little.

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."
-Proverbs 31:8
