compassion fatigue? you're kidding right??

"suicide bomber kills dozens in iraq"

how many times have we seen this and many similar phrases in the past yr? are we tired of it?

just the other day, i saw two canadians complaining about "giving too much" to charities in the "(too) many diasters in the past yr"

what (the hell) kind of society do we live in? how can people (a selective few, but still too many) complain about GIVING TOO MUCH? that there are TOO MANY diasters...

i dont know about you, but between the tsunami last year, the earthquake in Iran (which many have forgotten about in light of the Iran's threat to produce nukes), hurricane katrina, and the earthquake that happened just now that killed more than 30,000 people (sorry if i missed a few in between)...the world needs to be MORE compassion and MORE caring. As well, we should be THANKFUL that none of this happened to us.

bottom line: a "moral" society should NOT have ANY of these people/thoughts.
[then again, who am i to define "moral(ity)" ] -
