Simple things to us, are not always simple to others.

The other day, a speaker named James from Uganda came in to speak to anyone who would like to listen. He talked about the war and how it affected him, but then when someone asked what he thought of America, he had an interesting response I never saw coming.
He said he noticed that we have a hospital for animals, and it is such a nice building. But in Uganda, the hospitals for humans are not even that nice or up-to-date. In Ugandan hospitals, there are no individual rooms for each person; it's one big open space for everyone. He talked about getting in an accident, and waiting for hours for a doctor that never even showed up. He seemed astounded that we have so many more advances than them, even more that we can open up hospitals for animals.
James also talked about the condition of the roads. We have nice, paved roads, while in Uganda, "you would be dusting dirt off of yourself." He just seemed so in awe of all of the advancements we have in America that he could possibly never dream of in Uganda.
It just shows that we shouldn't take advantage of some simple things that we never even think of being extraneous, especially since there are places in the world where humans get worse medical treatment than our animals do.
