will, I'm not responsible for anyone else but myself and my own circle. You may decide to include those unfortunates and homeless in your circle. I don't.

Life is fair? Really? You got a heart operation and others who are in line for heart transplants that don't get them. That's fair? Oh because there's an organization that tries to make it more equitable that makes it more fair? Maybe in your world, not in mine. Life is still not fair.

Just because you believe in the golden rule doesn't mean that someone will give it to you. That fact alone is the problem with this discussion, you feel entitled to it if you were shit poor. You feel entitled to that help because you'd do it for someone else. No, I don't subscribe to that, I help myself, and will continue to do so. I don't care for someone else's help, in fact most of the time, someone else's help isn't for my benefit but for their own in some manner because like you said, it's their responsibility.

Being able to take care of myself FIRST before I help others is more important. Otherwise when travelling shouldn't the parent put that mask on the child first? No it's because if I don't take care of myself first, I would never be able to take care of another human being. After myself is my family and my friends, they unfortunately for the rest of the world take up a good chunk of the benevolence I have. Anything left over from that goes to the rest of the world.

taking care and helping out? This is healthcare thread remember? Nurses wipe asses... so that's what we are talking about.

It's pretty simple. Again, you decide and judge your ownself and how you live in it. I can sleep at night and look myself in the mirror. If you don't do all that you can, maybe you can't. I know that I can.
