May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that you may live deep within your heart
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and
To turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

fight back against the flawed system, sweatshops abuse children and workers and pay them pennies on the dollar to deliver you what you buy.
i'm starting by boycotting cocacola, pepsi, and gap. they're horrible human rights abusers.
even if you decide it isn't worth boycotting companies, read the information, it will blow your mind.
seemed to be relevant to this prayer.
and coldstone.
don't forgot coldstone.
well i'm not boycotting coldstone because it abuses workers but because i personally don't like their high prices and small servings.
i just don't really like coldstone.
i do like coke and i like gap, but it is more important to me to not support that system or whatever.
coldstone is yummy though!
By the way, that prayer is really good.
