Feeding a piece of bread to every single person

What are you DOing here?
There is so much to do in this world. We want to do something real, fix something, feed someone, and actually see how we have positively impacted the world. How do we know what to do? There are billions of people on this earth. How do I, one person, take on such a big task as to help every single person? There are two ways that we can "give a piece of bread"/ help the other members of this world. The first way is that God acts through us, and in this way, which I will explain further, we really can reach and affect the lives if every single human being. The second way we act in this world is more contained to who I will physically help, who I can physically reach out to and hand a piece of bread, be it through writing, music, cooking, care-taking, educating, or whatever your particular medium of choice may be. I want to look closer at the first way that we can affect others in this world. God acts though people. What does this mean? Through our actions we can be feeding every single person in this world a bite of bread or a bite of poison. Through our actions, when we at good, kind, and generous, God responds by judging the world with an equal amount of kindness and generosity, but if someone acts badly, hatefully, or immorally, so then through that person's actions, God is judging the world harshly. That man is created in God's image means hat God acts in this world through our actions. When we act properly, our actions add a positive energy into the world, and that is God responding with positive judgment. That man is created in His image means that we, in our microcosm of existence, which is this world, are like miniature 'gods' with limited ability, but with abilit to act in this world none-the-less. God wants to see how we will rule, how we will judge, how we will act, and He will rule, judge, and act accordingly. That man is created in God's image means that God gives man the opportunity to be mini-creators by joining with Him in the act of creating a child. Then, as a parent, man acts as a pseudo 'god' over that baby, over man's atmosphere, over this world. God responds through man's actions. If we care for each other and the world, so then God judges kindly through our very actions of kindness, but if we treat each other harshly and hatefully, God judges harshly, through our harsh actions. Therefore, every action we do is extremely important, even if it is just a matter of how will I speak to my family members in the privacy of my own home where no one will hear me because even though no one else may hear, if I speak kindly, I am adding an energy of kindness to the world and to God's response in His own judgment. If I speak harshly, I am adding that much severity to how God will judge. If God is judging the world with kindness, love, and generosity, then every person will be effected positively. If God is judging with more severity, then every person will also be effected accordingly. If I do my best to tilt the scale to the positive side with every action that I do, every thought that I think, and every word that I speak, then I am doing what I can to give a bite of bread to every single human being, even those who I cannot reach with my own physical two hands.
