Why OH why, Must the children die?


Do not be deceived there is no effect without a cause, nothing happens of itself, accidentally, coincidently, or by pure chance.
Everything that occurs, that goes on around us has a cause, a someone or something that allows matters, or makes things happen a certain way in order to generate the desired result, i.e., the effect.
The 35,000 children that die around the world every day, do not do so in vain or for no reason as may seem, given the excesses that we here in modern advanced western nations aspire to.
We have it all, or so it seems; we are demi-gods living in techno-topian paradise.
We enjoy a level of comfort like never before, we have affordable housing, adept transport, abundant delicacies to tantalise our ever-ravenous palate, not to mention levels of entertainment never before imagined.
Most of us think we work hard to acquire the possessions we need for our day to day survival, and also to be able to pick up along the way an array of stuff we think we need, we think we want but truly we have no use for and don’t even want at all.
Such is the plight of modern man!
They must decrease so that we can increase, in the paraphrased words of St John the Baptist.I have a personal problem with so called capitalist fat cats (i.e., materially successful business people) to the extent that their rewards were directly a result of their ownendeavorss and risk and how they choose to spend their well earned and deserved money, given the levels of poverty abundant in affluent "capitalist" societies.I find it somewhat difficult to agree that, "The unequal outcomes are therefore NATURAL, not immoral. It is the result of the simple fact that people are not born the same.." and not a case of mere exploitation and immoralbehaviorr as I feel and firmly believe.But hey...maybe I’m wrong, but I can't help how I feel and I do feel "that people are arbitrarily somehow (EQUALLY) entitled the full rights and privileges of their more well off neighbours" who should willingly share their wealth with those less fortunate in order to relieve the pain and suffering of their less fortunate neighbour.But once again this is only MY opinion and yes I agree with you "that in fact people ARE NOT born equal in capacities" and so even more reason for those who have greater wealth to freely and willingly support those brothers of theirs born less fortunate, with less opportunities and options and even abilities to better themselves and their situation.
But, I here you interject, there’s a flaw in your logic, how dare you try to create an abstract concept of social morality, how dare you classify us as the collective “WE”.
How dare you deflect your responsibility to the perceived ‘fat cats’ to those who you think should be supporting the poor, and yet you do nothing, you fail to even help your own neighbour who lays there on your own doorstep, suffering, dying, begging for your help and you show no mercy, but yet frown indignantly at the images of the dead children in Sudan and the thousands of homeless on the streets of New York.
It is not just how the perceived rich chose to spend their ill gotten monies that is the problem its also how I, who obviously in the eye of the poor and abject would seem to be a fat cat, even though I consider myself to be nothing more than a slave a drone a worker serving “THE MAN”.
