Man. People are really suffering in the world. My concerns are small compared to theirs, microscopic even. Those with much perhaps should do more. If life has afforded you a more fortunate and supported path, if you have more than you could ever use, or your grandchildren could ever use. If you can change things for the better, if you have abilities and gifts that can help others…even with your voice.
I think it’s good to help others. The French have an expression, Noblesse Oblige, the nobles are obligated. NoblesseOblige “the inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with generosity and nobility toward those less privileged.”
With the wealth gap widening, and so many people suffering, I don’t think it should be a forgotten concept, it shouldn’t be used sarcastically. The world needs some obligation from the super-wealthy and those who are generally not suffering.
