On a not too disimilar theme
A lot of times people will give a sum of money to a disaster relief fund for a far away country that we know very little and care even less. They believe it salves their consciences, that they have done their bit.
Yet
may be on their very own doorstep, someone is having a hard time.
Do they lift a finger
Or do they lock themselves up and ignore the cries of those around them.
they have given money to the disaster relief fund for a far away country that they know very little and in truth, care even less. They have done their bit.
I do not know anyone in Asia
But I know the person on my doorstep.
Someone who has been going down hill badly
I am not permitted to say any more, and I can not say why.
I have had them for meals and offered to help them in certain ways, but their is only so much I can do and they have lost hope.
I do not know what makes me more helpless? What has happened halfway across the world, or the situation right on my own doorstep
