3. I'm sorry, but I think your post is deeply silly.
people are complex, and any urge to help others is a good thing. Furthermore, we don't know a person half a world away in dire circumstances so the help we offer does most often come from the feeling of "there but for fortune". That's called empathy and there sure as hell isn't anything wrong with that.
