I applaud what you have done in contributing to things that you care about. The things that you do at home are wonderful and we all should be as mindful but volunteering to help in an impoverished country is a pretty selfless act. You are definitely a person who not only cares but wants to do something to help.  I think you are just a person who is full of empathy so it is natural that you would think of what others do not have.

I like what “I think” Anita was getting at. I do believe there are people living with very little but are happy because they have friends and family and there are people who are very rich but very lonely. It could also be the reverse….but I understand how you feel.

I often look at people and animals who suffer and ask why? Why do they have to suffer? There really is nothing more we can do than do the best that we can with our talents and gifts and use them to make the world a better place. Give as much as can to what you care about.
