My point is don't stop throwing the starfish. If you can stop more washing up later that's a bonus but you shouldn't stop helping just in the promise of helping later on. That costs you a part of your morality. Never stop making a difference because the moment you stop to only focus on yourself you can't get back the morality you threw away. Passing a starving guy on the street and saying "Hey sorry bucko, catch me in 30 years and I'll give 50000 people food!" doesn't help him and leaving people without help is wrong imo.@Blackquill
Pardon my wrong use of words, I indeed intended to say unrealistic so thank you on the correction.
"As much as I heavily disagree with the ideology itself- I feel like more could actually be done by everyone, not just those who are 'qualified' to do things."
I understood that by "everyone" you meant literally anyone, like the lower-mid-class, which I wanted to point out should first develop themselves in order to bring more benefit. However, I want to make it clear, I'm not against donation by the lower class nonetheless. Whilst they're on their way to higher ends, they can donate, but so much till it begins interfering with progress.
And yeah, I was speaking of the first to second world countries. Anywhere else it's every man for... every other man.
I've got an even better old story for your side. I like it more, personally, up to the point where I ask myself:What does the boy do when he grows up? Will he be still on that same beach, throwing back a star-fish at a time? Or will he become a strong figure that prevents starfish from coming onto the shore in the first place.
I live in a developed country and I see people living on the streets in city centers. People from this country who have learned, lived and worked their entire lives here, some even ex-forces who have put their lives on the line for our safety and freedom and people who can help just walk by each day. That is fucked up no matter what you believe in.
