Seven Pounds

I love the movie Seven Pounds with Will Smith. Everytime I watch it, I find myself saying "this is such a good movie." Thew plot is about a man who gets in a car wreck with his fiance and kills her and the 6 passengers in the other vehicle. He spends his remaining time planning ways to save 7 peoples lives. He does this by organ transplants and donations. The final donation is to a woman he falls for who only has a month to live. She is in desperate need of a heart transplant. He commits suicide to save these peoples lives. This is how I find most (but not all) people in real life. Takes a loss to realize what's gone or to make changes. Something bad has to happen before people do things that can change another persons life. What ever happened to helping people for the good of mankind? Not saying everyone has to commit suicide to donate their organs, but there are people out there that need blood, or bone marrow, or a liver, kidney or whatnot, and those of us with all of that, don't help. I am not judging because I am part of the population with working organs and blood and do nothing about it. I think it is time I make a change and start helping in a small, but meaningful way. I will at least donate blood. How about ya'll?

  1. Theodore Roosevelt said, "Do what you can with what you have where you are." I think that's appropriate to this situation.
