Human Suffering: Ethics Vs Compassion (Discretion Is Strongly Advised)
This blog was shared with us at http://lightworkers.org were I AM participate almost daily. I allow me sometimes to get there things shared with us and share those messages (blogs) with all of us here on our Island.
This blog touched me deeply as I worked long time on a place for the poorest of the poor where the "white man" usually only go for either holidays or if s/he have allot of money and can live in abundance beside the ones which suffer without to be touched.

Human Suffering: Ethics Vs Compassion (Discretion Is Strongly Advised)
I created this video because I was appalled and some of the comments and reactions that I saw on the original video of this documentary of starving children. Why is it that whenever humans are faced with a situation where they have to see/view or deal with any form of human suffering, there are usually two very distinct reactions.
1. People will ignore that situation and act like its just not happening at all. If they are not dealing with it then it doesnt exists.
2. People get angry at those who make the documentaries or bring the stories of those who need back to those who can do something about the suffering.
I think that humans can be so quick to judge and lash out at all the wrong people for all he wrong reasons, but its also very easy to give an opinion when you have a full belly, comfortable bed to sleep in and all kinds of guarantee that you will not perish due to lack of basic needs. So that was basically my inspiration for this video.
Personally I think that the anger that people exhibit stems from a guilty conscience. I think that when you watch the image of a starving child, then on a subconscious level you realize that you have the ability to do something. Its a situation where a tragic reality confronts your true inner self & most people would rather not deal with that deep guilt so they lash out instead.
Anyway, the question is:
Is there a conflict of ethics?
