Some peoples’ needs aren’t being met. This is a social problem that has existed as long as people have existed. It is a reality that we must face if we are to have any aspirations of being compassionate beings.
However, I’m not okay with the concept that we should identify some groups as being OK to care about and other groups as “no, you had your turn, so we won’t allow ourselves to respond to your suffering anymore.” The idea that you must qualify for or earn compassion is backwards. That’s not compassion at all. That’s politics.
Maybe, just maybe, the solution to problems caused by labeling is not more labeling. Just a thought.

Our whole system is corrupt. -_- Honestly, I wish there a was a world where people would just share and spread the wealth..
The elderly cause a lot of health care budget problems, getting old just is not going to help the body.
Sure we can demonize those that do not exercise and those that smoke and do other things conducive towards good health, but karma is a b-tch….
A lot of single people wish that government could help them get married……I wonder if people welcome that sort of government intervention?
