Something that has been bothering me

So I was listening to the radio the other day and a commercial came on for 9/11 Help Day. At first I thoguht, "Well that's kind of cool you can help out and turn the bad day into good", but then I got to thinking. As the commercial continues it is people saying, "Today I will go up to a firefighter and say thank you." or "Today I will donate blood" stuff like that. That got me to thinking maybe 9/11 Help Day is well for lack of a better word Crap. Why does there have to be a tragedy for someone to care? I don't understand needing a special day to say thank you to someone who does their job 365 days a year not just on the anniversary of a tragedy. Please dont read this wrong and think I am saying 9/11 was not terrible, it was, but I just dont understand the concept of being a good person one day a year. Why is it people think they can just go about their lives everyday not really caring about the firefighters or donating blood, helping that older man across the street, ect. but if you do it ONE day a year you are a good person?? And you deserve a pat on the back for that?? That is like saying I spend my week stealing, lying and beating people up but I go to Church on Sunday so Im a Christain?!?!? WHAT! What has this world come to that we need reasons to do good? Don't get me wrong I am all for volenteering and joining together to remember a day, I myself do it once a year to make the day of my school shooting as positive as I can, however I also try to do those things when it is not the anniversary too! I just don't understand...mabe I am so off, maybe someone will read this and be so upset and explode at me but I just don't understand. Today do me a favor, while you are out in your world, out in your day, Do a Random Act of Kindness without a reason, without a purpose except to make that person happy, without expecting a pat on the back, Go tell a firefighter or police officer thank you...let me know if that feels better then doing it for the pat on the back or the reason. I feel like this world needs a change, Not this counrty, THIS WORLD! Lets be the change! Now I sound cheesy but hopefully my point is getting accross. Have a great Wednesday and God Bless all of the souls lost on 9/11 and any other tragedy, now go an respect those people with your actions EVERYDAY not just on the anniversary of their death.
