@moonman @clacke@librenet.de I have learned that many times, these kinds of statements are not accompanied by individual action & sacrifice. If someone is bothered that someone else sent money to rebuild Notre Dame, but not to help people affected by another fire, the first somebody should send money / food / clothing / building supplies to those people before that somebody starts complaining that someone else did not.
Enough talk. Shut up and act sacrificially.

I hope that did not sound rude. My intent was to point out that people want to tell others what to do with their resources rather than jumping in themselves and helping. My response to someone's suffering should not be to point at a third party and say "Hey, you! Go help them!". Instead, I should take action to help the suffering person myself.

@Nobody [LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1)] I don't give to causes that happen to get publicity, so I have given neither to the cathedral nor the people at the residential tower.
I set a charity budget and then allot it to a handful of organizations with good track records and agendas, split about half and half between concrete, urgent causes like disaster help and abstract, long-term causes like freedom.
