Anything I give you, you will dismiss as idle words. Take your dismissal of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as idle words, for example.
Baron's not the only one listening. I, too, would like to hear a few examples of how caring people are. Truth is, there
really are people that
really care. True idealists do in fact exist. But they are exceptionally rare.
I think Baron went over this. I do care and think about shit going on in third world countries and all that stuff. But I care a whole hell of a lot more about my friends, myself and my family.
I remember a few summers ago, I was doing community service at a Donation Depot (an organization that accepts donations (ie. furniture, computers, all kinds of supplies..) from individuals and companies and gives away or sells really inexpensively to other startup companies). Anyway, this guy comes (about 45 years old) in with this young Asian girl (17 maybe).
I talked with him for a while. He told me that he was here to get medical supplies so he could take them to China to communities that had none. He asked me if I wanted to go with him (I obviously, and selfishly declined). I helped him get what he needed, loaded his truck and he was off. He was putting his neck on the line, risking disease and accidents just to help the helpless. He was a true idealist.
That really got me thinking about exactly what we're discussing here. People say they care, and perhaps they do. They just do not care
enough to expend energy and actually
do something. Or maybe they're full of shit. Personally, I think average people with morals try to push those kinds of things out of their minds to avoid cognitive dissonance as well as the notion that they may be hypocrites.
I care. I really do. Just not enough.
