Hi
Watching Comic Relief on Friday night was very entertaining, but the short films of the people they are trying to help made me feel quite uncomfortable. Yes, I give to charity out of my pay, I sponsor a child in the 3rd World and I give ad hoc to several other charities, but is it enough?
As I sat watching a family of 14 in a one room hut, often with nothing to eat, that pair of trainers and trousers I'd bought that day, seemed a bit excessive.
I've worked for my money and I'm fortunate enough in that I have no debts to pay other than my mortgage, so am I wrong to want to spend it on myself? I don't go mad, but it makes you think about what do you really need to buy when you already have clothes to keep you warm, food to eat and a roof over your head?
