Suppose we divide the world into three classes.
Class #1 – The rich people who have all their choices of good food and voluntarily go for exercise, outdoors and health.
Class #2 – The majority of people who survive on the food and health services that they either choose or are available. They work and they more than “just survive”.
Class #3 – The poor who work and who have few choices in food or health. They “barely survive”.
We, also, have the divisions called “Majority” and “Minority”.
1 - The “Majority” are those that work and “readily survive”.
2 - We, also, have a “Minority” that either is “rich” (and all that it provides) and the desperately “poor” that “barely survives”.
So we have BOTH types of divisions!!!
We have the “rich” who may choose to work or not.
We have the “majority” who do work.
And, we have the “poor” who must work.
We have people who choose to exercise....
We also have people who must work and do not choose to exercise.
We have people who choose the “right” foods.....
We have people who eat the food that is available.
We have people who are aware of reason and logic......
We also have people who are either unaware of, or, are to busy to use “reason and logic”.
The World has many divisions!!!
Do you think it is reasonable to assume that there is any one idea that applies to all the “divisions”?
Isn’t it “enough” to be an “expert” in one division? Should you even listen to many or all divisions?
Is it possible to ease the burdens of one division without trying to ease the burdens of all divisions?
Is it possible to affect one division without being deemed uncaring or selfish if you do not necessarily affect all divisions? (After all, who does the “deeming”?)
Let’s put this in the “Tsunami Issue”!!!
Well, now what?
Do we “help” or not?
Is the “help” we (and others) give to the countries involved going to change their ideas about the U.S.? Who is “their” ideas? Is it the people, or, the ruling party (with their secret police and armies)? What about the people who live inland and are not affected by the tsunami?
Will money and aid change “their” ideas or will the “help” be just absorbed in a time of natural disaster and survival?
Do we expect any changes?
Can we risk “not doing”?.... What do we risk by “not doing”?
Are the divisions by “inland” and “shorefront” people different?
(Again, there are millions of people in the nations affected! Is it possible to affect one division without being deemed uncaring or selfish if you do not necessarily affect all divisions?)
Again....
Can we or should we divide the world? .......
When should we divide the world? ........
How should we divide the world? ........
