why is it that we can see someone needs help and maybe we have more then they do but?

Question

most people egnore and dont help out! do you no that if we all gave a donation even if it was 5dollars how much we can help a person or child in need,so why do poeple egnore the situation and not help????the reson i put this question is cause i just read on here about the girl from the show on tlc and people said theirs not much we can do! thats not true we could do alot but we are selfish cause we have health,till someone we love gets sick we will no the feeling of pain and no help!!! well i do but do you help??

you dont have to help everyday but once in awhile would be good,i no we barly have money but those who have enough just by more junk and see a story and it wont touch there heart,dont understand i think if i was rich ill be broke but for a good reason!!

Answer 1

I agree. However, we are going into a depression ourselves(with gas prices and lack of jobs, ect...), and people are just plain and simple broke. Even if we gave a dollar, it would be something.

Answer 2

All I can say, personally, is that I am really picky with who I help out.

I will almost never help out a panhandler (someone on a street corner with a sign) because you never know if they really are needing it, or faking it. I saw this on the news regarding panhandlers that were only doing this for alcohol, drug, or gambling money.

I know it's sick...but if I see a legitimate need, I DO help.

Answer 3

I help whenever I can, but I prefer to do it quietly and anonymously if possible. Back in the day before welfare, folks helped each other with a hand up, not a hand out... I agree with that philosophy.

Answer 4

Ask yourself why you are on a computer asking this question, and watching TV, rather than out there helping, and I think you'll find your answer.
