Charity.

One phenomena that has grown up over the last ten to twenty years is the plethora of heart rendering scenes from distressed communities across the world. We see emaciated children, some through famine some in war zones, frightened eyes surveying the fearful world around them. For only £3 a month you can make this child's life better and who wouldn't fork out £3 to help the little mite. But in our doubt laden imagination we fear our fellow man and his cognizances, we don't trust the organisations the charities that tell us our money will find its way to the image on the screen. We believe we are being conned and even with the best will in the world, the nation states that are host to the tur

moil have little actual concern for the individuals under their care. So as we see the inherent inequality and unjust nature of the human condition, we look and do nothing, we are crowded with scepticism and feel we are being duped. Years gone bye and we would have been ignorant and our ignorance would relieve us our conscience. How do we make a difference in a world and in societies who continue to add to the burden by having children when in our view the conditions are simply too harsh for child rearing. But if they had to wait for the conditions to improve the race would die out. Its only by giving birth to many that a few survive. Even as we improve the mortality rate we add to the problem by overwhelming the scarce resources.
Nature provides the balance necessary for animals to survive and although we see nature as a grim reaper killing at leisure we feel superior to the animal kingdom and in our ethical superiority we insist on providing our own answers. Its just the implication that we are maybe enriching the wide boys, the opportunity guys who enrich themselves at every turn.
