Humans make gods out of a fear
of not being heard.

there's this series of commercials that have home-videos of different individuals, almost like a personals ad...the screen fades to black with text saying, "more people donate to Cystic-Fibrosis charities when they know someone dying from it. Now you know someone." Every time these commercials air, i know where they are going and find myself extremely mournful...these people aren't succumbing to despair...most of their videos are in hopeful tones...
