Freerice.com
A comprehensively constructed website that tests and gauges the strength of one’s vocabulary, as well as aray of words that can be used to brighten this vapid society. But, more than that, this site provides for the needy, with each correctly answered question being an indirect donation to some needy person (thanks, all you munificent donors). The billions/millions of grains of rice donated per day would help keep the needy alive for that much longer to fight for a better future. All we have to do is go to www.freerice.com and spend some time working on the questions right? Our facile act of clicking multiple choice answer can bring smiles to those below mediocrity. When all is done and dusted, it may even be counted as a good deed.
So why am I plunged into an onerous conflict within my cerebellum? I cannot help but think that the world seems to be in decline, that as our environment deteriorates at exponentially devestating rates, so follow our lives. As we seek the perpetual ascendency into sophisticated studies and developments, our Earth steps onto the glissade to destruction, together with her people. I believe that when God created this world, a certain amount of effort was put into its sustainability. This sustainability stems from the ability for energies to form cycles that will loop without depletion. However, it has come to a time when the natural cycles have been broken down due to the introduction of extraneous wants generated by the exceedingly unsatisfied ‘consumer’ (Don’t see other animals complaining about the temperature being too hot, and too the initiative to create the air-conditioner). Even the distribution of wealth has been perturbed. With the wealthy becoming evermore opulent, the money distribution is beginning to slant towards on side, forcing the other side into a struggle for survival. The resource that is wealth is obviously hogged by the rich, living the others in need. Freerice.com is just another effort by increasing aware individuals trying to tilt the balance back into position. Albeit their valiant efforts, the slide continues.
I see websites such as this an indication of the rising desperation plaguing our lands. The more we need to attempt to ’save our planet’, the greater the adumbration of self-destruction. Just a random opinion though, don’t mind me
