Why should we reach out to people in need?

Question

Whether it be hunger, poverty, etc. Why should we extend ourselves like that?

Answer 1

We should treat people like we would want to be treated. - Golden Rule baby.

Answer 2

1% get 90% of world income - US$70 trillion a year - the first world is getting $200 billion a year from the third world more than we lend them [and 80% of loans is spent in the first world]

for centuries, the first world has robbed the third world - by slavery, and plunder [euphemism: colonialism]

plunderers get plundered - the defense costs of the plunderer eventually eat up all the plunder - thus every empire that has passed away - thus america, passing away

only justice can save us - limitation of fortunes to the just limit [US$2 million], and spreading the overfortunes among every person on earth - giving back the stolen

for 1000s of years, we have tried the system of everyone grabbing as much as they can - it has meant everyone has to grab and re-grab all the time - the more you grab, the more you get grabbed from

100 kids, 1000 sweets, everyone grab from everyone

or 10 sweets each, no endless escalating fight?

every person including housewives and tertiary students would be on US$15 an hour if there was fortunes limited to the most a person can put into the economy by their work [US$2 million]

and there would be peace

and there wouldnt be escalation to ww3 and total planet death

justice or death

99% of people would be better paid with justice

justice is essential to happiness

injustice is theft is violence - which escalates, as both sides try to win

pay the price, or all die

the work is spread, so money should be too

and money is power, and power concentrated is tyranny, slavery, fascism, which is plunder, and use of people as cannon fodder - and we [the world] are almost all the way to fascism

Answer 3

If we do not help others then we are divided, being divided means we have made our selves weaker, we will fall from that mistake. Also speaking of weaker, we are only as strong as the weakest link, it only makes sense to help the most in need so that we can ALL be strong (whether economically, mentally, physically, or whatever).

If we all helped each other to be better off and better, then the world would be a much better place. Think about it, if one is truly selfish then why not help people out because to have the BEST everyone should be better off, if people are more better off then you will be better off. But then again, that’s assuming that selfish people THINK clearly, which apparently they're not that bright.
;-)
If everyone had everything, then that would mean you to would have everything…
Muhahahahaha

Answer 4

Why shouldn't we? There isn't any reason. However, let's remember the parable in the bible.

There was a begger man, begging for coins. Along came an apostle and said, "In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk!"

We need to do more than just give out freebies. We need to offer these people hope and a way out of their situation. This could be done through educational and employment opportunities. We need to work to change the world and continue to improve our people's lives.

If you look at history, we are living so much better! I am glad to be alive in this day and age (computers for one thing) Than say the late 1800's or earlier!

Answer 5

I just can't imagine living in a world where people DIDN'T help each other out. I think of it as an obligation.
Remember the Golden Rule " Do unto others as you would have them do unto you "
You never know when you may need help yourself one day
If you help others, they will be there for you when that time comes.

Answer 6

Call it compassion, Karma, or the golden rule.If we did not care for each other this world would be more evil and selfish than it is already. life would be so full of hate and distrust we would soon kill each other without a second thought. To survive in the world there has to be love for one another.

Answer 7

We have an obligation to help those who are in need. Whether we are fulfilling this obligation satisfactory, my reply will be in negative. However, here are numerous persons who always care for others. This is greatness.

Answer 8

Maybe it's because some people have something called compassion. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but it's a very good feeling

Answer 9

Nonsense!

Answer 10

Because you never know who out there may be an Angel of God.God sends Angels to us in all forms and walks of life to test us.And test our faith.
