The Reverse Affect

I was watching Linkin Park's video "What I've Done", and I started thinking about the Golden Rule. Then this whole idea came to me. This idea that in death, all the cruelty, the pollution, the wrong things you've done in life- they'll come back to you and, you'll have to go through them yourself. A punishment that would be extremely fitting. So, if that's the case, we should probably all try to be good people, right? And that's just the thing- no one realizes how much damage we're really doing to this world. You may be one of those people that wants to be thinner, and you never really realize that while you're wasting all that food, somewhere in Africa, or Afghanistan, or maybe Peru, a child, a grandparent, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father- they're starving feeding they're families, keeping them alive while they suffer. While you go off and trash the Earth, the drinking water we pollute will be drunk by a thirsty cow, or bathed in by a small child- maybe even drunk by a pregnant woman.
 We are killing these people through our selfish ways. We are all killers. We are all hypocrites. We are all wrong.
