1st of December is the world AIDS day, let's just try our slight effort and wear a red ribbon.
The pound that you donate for getting the ribbon does matter. But more importantly, it is the signal of attracting people's awareness of this serious issue that exists in our modern civilised world.
It is more than just asking for people's sympathy for AIDS victims. The awareness of AIDS is for the sake of very singlel one of us and it is the reason for the existence of world AIDS day. A red ribbon that is worn serves as this gentle reminder that fulfils its duty even if only one pedestrian catchs it with their eyes and gets the message.
I am trying to convince as many friends as possible to do it. Strangely, I find it is rather hard. Apparently AIDS still sounds far away from the majority of us. Because it is far away, we don't know it. Because we don't know it, we fear it. Because we fear it, we pretend that it is far away. The number of AIDS victims is rising very year in almost very country. It is actually just right behind our doorway.
So, just for the day, if you see a box of red ribbon, please donate a pound, pick one ribbon, and wear it. Some day, somehow, it will done someone good in one way or another. And that will be YOUR good deed of the day.
Wear a red ribbon.
It is world AIDS day on 1st of December. It's the coming Saturday.
