I'm going to hell...

For being unmoved when people make requests for cheap or free stuff on behalf of sick children.

It's not that I don't care. I do. Sick children break my heart. And it's not that I am not occasionally moved. Or that I don't want to help out OR that I'm not willing to donate time, money, materials, whatever when the mood hits me.

But for some reason when I see someone requesting free or cheap stuff from strangers because their uncle's brother's daughter twice removed was born with her head on upside down and would love nothing more than a pair of custom diamond earrings, (ok, it's rarely that extravagant but as long as we are going to hell, we may as well be exaggerating too) to wear until her head gets screwed on strait, i kind of roll my eyes and move on.

I'm thankful that there are other people out there who are far nicer than I.
