"The three year-old who quietly dies from starvation today in the Sudan (and he will) is just as important as the millionaire, celebrity who kills him or herself with drugs.... or the high-profile philanthropist who gave away millions and died of old age.
....
Imagine if everyone who could do something (anything), did it."
I wish I thought like this, but I don't.
Is the life of a criminal "worth" the same TO ME as my own, or my family's? No.
Is the life of billionaire philanthropist (who is indeed doing "something" about it) worth the same TO ME as another who is not contributing anything? No and I hope to become the former.
Is even the life of the sports star or celebrity who entertains millions "worth" the same as another whom someone doesn't know? I regret to say, probably not.
People will surely think, "but no one should HAVE to contribute anything to society" and that is true. Their souls are just as important as another's. However, don't then judge others because they don't care to contribute either (to help someone else.)
