A lack of faith, and it's redemption

A couple weeks ago i was brainlessly watching MTV, and i grew discouraged with how self-absorbed, vain, shallow, and petty we as a culture are.
My redemption came while i was listening to NPR the next day, and the story of a girl from Gaston who, after watching "Hotel Rwanda", live was forever changed. She was struck by a particular line that had caught my attention as well when i had. It was when the camera guy was saying that when footage of what was happening was shown, we as would watch it, think it was sad, and awful, but we would go back to our lives.
But this 11 year old girl had the determination to ask for money to send to Darfur, instead of gifts for her birthday, who sells eggs so she can send money to help out. A girl who has inspired her classmates, a girl who saw the world as something bigger than herself.
