While walking in a department store, I saw some clothesline with the word "equation" on it. So I must take a look.
It says "Be Part of the Equation". Ok, but what equation is it? Ah, I found it, it is "1 > 0".
So it is a non-profit One is Greater Than None organization created by teenagers to help the needy in Africa.
It is great to have a heart for the needy!
But sorry, I'd like to point out that "1 > 0" is not an equation. It is an inequality. Equations have the equal sign (=) and both sides must be equal.
But "Be Part of the Inequality" sounds terrible on a T-shirt?
Besides this clothesline, there are plenty of merchandise that claims to help Africa by donating a certain amount... Although it is good thing, but doesn't fix the root of the problems.
Why are people genociding each other over there? Until there is a PEACE in there it is hard to help by donating small amounts... How do we give them fresh water and solve their food crisis and other problems? Until there is solution to those it is hard to help.
But some help is better than nothing.
