If you had a choice, which birthday party would you or your child attend:
1. A birthday party where the invitations for the child's birthday designate which gifts the recipient wants.
Plus, if you give them a present not on the list, you must include a gift receipt so the child can return it for something else. The gifts designated were not daily necessities to the child's actual well being either.
2. A birthday party where the invitation went viral for a bullied 13-year-old teen who had received no RSVP's to his party.
If you chose the second birthday party, Hooray! You carry within you compassion and love; emotions that somehow still lack within our society.
Believe it or not that first birthday party invitation is true. Parents of the children who received those invitations took to social media to vent their frustration of the selfishness provided by the child's parents.
Actual photos of the selfish mockery within the invitations went viral quickly.
Surprisingly the second story which happened last month, was revisited in the news lately as a result of the breaking of the first story. Naturally the outcome of the bullied teen's party far exceeded the first child's party, which is only unfortunate due to his selfish parents request.
When no one responded to Odin Camus birthday party, the mother of the teen who has Aspergers Syndrome felt slighted. She went to social media and created a Face Book Page for her son's party.
The next thing you know hundreds of people showed up for his birthday party at a local bowling alley.
Odin also received 4,000 text messages relaying birthday wishes to him; some of those coming from celebrities such as singer Carrie Underwood and actress Molly Ringwald.
Imagine what can be achieved when we set before us a foundation of trust and humbleness,
leaving selfishness behind.
Humbleness and trust will always win. Always.
