When it comes down to your moral rights, I believe that many people try to hide from them. Personally, when I hear about starving kids, I feel terribly sorry for them but personally with my paycheck and university expenses on the rise, I cannot afford to sponsor a child. However, when it comes down to being of assistance in the community, I definitely arise to the occasion. For example, I have participated several times in our community event of 10,000 Tonight which supplies the food bank with plentiful amounts of food until mid July which is very impressive. But, unfortunately the whole world does not work this way. I am not trying to say I am far superior than anyone because that is far from true. I am just saying as a nation, as one unit, as a whole, I feel the world is careless and that every action, every move, revolves around financial benefit. Unless it provides a benefit for a person, their actions will be minimal unless they are forced to. As sad as it is, this is the truth.
P.S. This is a general statement.
P.P.S. There are humans out there that would disagree with my statement .
P.P.P.S. If it wasn't for those people who go above and beyond and destroy the stereotypical actions of a regular person, there would be no hope for those who need it most.

I agree. What you are stating is exactly how the population acts. We may feel bad about it, but that doesn't mean we actually do anything about it.
I do believe however that David thinks he is superior. Do not try to lie David.
People generally do not help others if it does not help themselves.
I'm going to comment on your "P.P.P.S." statement. Do you think that there are enough people who go "above and beyond" to actually make a difference? I agree that they are the only ones who can actually have an impact on the most unfortunate members of the human race. There is no hope unless "regular" people like ourselves, (who are content with the status quo) are somehow motivated to go above and beyond. It seems as though we never will though, because we are not directly confronted with the horrible situation that others live in. It is simply too easy for us to ignore them.
