it is sad but i have a family of my own to think about, i have a job to think about, i have bills to pay, theres so many reason why it doesnt cross my mind, not that i dont feel for them, just that its not something im passionate about, i donate what i can and hope this makes a difference to someones life, but once that money has left my hand i honestly dont give it a second thought, im not selfish, nor greedy just live in a wealthy country and have never suffered like they do.

It is very sad and I do think of them when I see them on TV or in the news. However, I also think that maybe the governments in those 3rd world countries should try to do more for their people. Look at countries like Nigeria - the gov't are so corrupt that its them that should be the ones feeling sad and gulity - not the likes of you and I. No matter how much money is poured into some of the countries the problem never gets better. Also the charities that collect money for them and take most of in admin fee's - they have alot to feel sad about also. So while I feel guilty I feel there is no point in my dwelling on it when there isnt anything I can do. What it also does is make me grateful for the things I have xxxx

Yes it is horrible that people are starving in the world, but it is hard to do something about that. You see all these campaigns (one.org comes to mind first) and fundraisers and yet there's still many people dying from famine and disease everywhere.

You can't carry the world on your shoulders. Sometimes you have to get caught up in your own world, or else you just get sucked in by all the problems throughout the world. Sometimes you have to block out all that stuff...otherwise you'll feel so burdened by everything happening.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very good thing that you care so much about the well being of people, it's a very good thing. Sometimes though, it's just too much for a person to bear if you focus on it for so long.

I cry a tear for each of them.I'm actually getting featured in the Guiness Book of Records for most tears per keg per person.I'm so sad help me?Can you lend me some Kleenex?I'm all out at the moment, my sponsorship deal with them expired.I have advertised my old tissues on Ebay to raise cash but no bids as yet.But I am selling a ramp for dogs which has got a lot of interest, but there is no gap in the market for odd tissues.I can't think why.Are you interested?I accept cheque or new tissues as part payment? Even some Andrex would be good.I cannot accept value brands.Sorry for the typos I'm blinded by my tears.

It is sad and I have to say that I do care. If you worry about everyone and everything though, you'll just end up permanently depressed then you're not much use to anyone.

Instead of worrying about things you can't change, why not work on things you can do. Contribute to charities, look after the people closest to you.

Don't let it stress you out!

It is sad but sadly people must die for whatever reason so others can be born it is just life. My partner firlmy believe my gran died in the summer to make room for my new baby. and hopefully I will die someday so there is room for someone else to bring a healthy child to the world.

i would care more if half the people in these countries didnt live just as we are...no hunger, running water etc...if these people that are starving moved to the capital & big cities in these places then they wouldnt be in their predicaments...also, the more other governments keep giving these countries handouts it only deters that countries own governments from spending the money that they should to build proper waterways etc...this is wot other countries should be pressurizing these corrupt countries to do...stop the handouts...i also dont care about global warming...i will be dead within 50 years so wot real effect will it have on my life...exactly

Yes it is sad that people die, but I think of in terms of the Lion King, the circle of life. Thats just the way things are.

I care and aware about it. And it feels really really sad. Feeling sad, because some people die out of starvation and calamity... whilst there are people who put their life to waste. You know what I mean?
