Bonjou my friends. I'll post another time about what I did this past weekend (it was pretty dang cool) but for now, I just wanted to spread the word about this video (link is below).
"First world problems" is a phrase typically used on facebook or Twitter to complain about something trivial. Unfortunately I have used the phrase once myself, but after seeing this video, I will never do so again. Young adults should watch this and consider the meaning behind this phrase before using it.
Some use it as a joke, others use it seriously. Either way, the phrase isn't one that should be encouraged. Living in a first world country, we take numerous things for granted-- clean drinking water, central heating, food, clothing, a roof over our head. Complaining about the little things that go wrong in our near-perfect world isn't the best way to demonstrate compassion or an understanding of just how much we have.
Please watch the video and share it.
Cheers
