The 'I'm Changing My Life' Bug

I must say, I think it is quite sad when someone can go through life with a five million dollar piece of jewelry on them, and meanwhile, people all over the world, especially in third world countries, are suffering. I've just read recent newspaper articles about the Mercy Hospital Ship that travels around the world with doctors, dentists and nurses who treat whole villages of people who have never even seen a toothbrush, let alone any kind of medical care. Oh, the suffering they either stop or prevent! Damn! I wish I had five million dollars laying around. I know what I would do with it. I know how much change, for the better, that I could make in people's lives.
Yes, I realize that Paris and Paris do not owe anybody anything, and that it is not their fault that people are destitute or starving. And also that the way they've been raised, they probably do not even know about such stuff. But I still find it sad--no, OBSCENE--that one person is walking around with an item that is worth so much, and millions of people are living without the basics. And it also saddens me that this person is admired so much, for doing nothing useful. Shouldn't we be admiring those who've helped the world?
I know a bunch of people will respond with the usual 'UR JUST JEALOUS!' (I'm not) but those are just my thoughts.

It is just WAY TOO BIG! I would be shocked as hell to get something that big and anyone that would turn that down would be an idiot as it is worth alot but I just think it is terribly ugly. I think that it would be combersome as well. Wouldn't you snag it on absolutely everything? It's so big and gawdy that it looks like the play jewelry kids have. I definately wouldn't have picked that one. YUCK! I would take it and lock it in a safe and get something prettier and smaller to wear.

I actually think the ring is quite nice (but I have a strange affinity for gawdy costume jewelry). That being said, I wouldn't be able to walk around with 5 million smackers on my bony finger because the guilt would kill me. Then again, this is a middle-class catholic girl talking and not a wealthy, conscience-free socialite.

Once upon a time, there was this idea called "noblesse oblige", which roughly means that if you're wealthy and fortunate, it's your duty to act honorably and responsibly, and to help out people who are poor and unfortunate and will never have the opportunities that you do.

I'm so relieved that the whole idea's been scrapped and now rich people can feel free to make sex videos, eat hamburgers while washing cars, get boob jobs (when they really should look into get chin-reduction surgery), and alternate between two engagement rings (one that's $2m and one that's $4m) because they "just can't decide!" which one they like better.

Thank god rich people aren't donating money to help the sad state of education in our country. Or to allow more Americans to get healthcare. I mean, it would be INHUMANE for Paris to have to pick ONLY ONE RING!

hahaha, this is exactly why people shouldn't wear millions on their ears.
