Do the hungry necessarily deserve my honest attention?

Question

Or can I go back to watching the Olympics and Judge Judy?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Let the Christians worry about the hungry since they they are the ones looking to score points and chances are the hungry are all Jesus Freaks so they can always pray to their god for food

BTW, how are you going to manage watching both the Olympics and Judge Judy at the same time?

Answer 3

Depends on your personal philosophy I guess.

If you have to ask the question at all I'd guess the hungry probably aren't going to get your attention anyway. Still, what goes around comes around, do as you would be done by etc? You ever read the Grapes of Wrath? If you haven't by now (assuming you are American) then shame on you.

Answer 4

No. But if you actually were to feel something, act on it. Enjoy the games.

Answer 5

Yes, "the hungry" deserve your "honest attention" because that is a compassionate thing to do. We're all on this earth together so we should try to take care of each other in a good way.

Thanks for asking.

Answer 6

Are you serious?  How sad to think this is the way you are.  Lack of empathy for people in need.  Be careful how you think, you may find yourself in a  situation that you need the help of others.  I'm sure you wouldn't be thinking about the Olympics or Judge Judy then.

Answer 7

Are they dependents? If so, they may not deserve your attention, but you should still give it to them unless you want social services to pay you a visit and read about yourself in the newspaper.

Answer 8

If you're talking about your dependent children, yes.  If you're talking about grown people in your house, no.  If you mean hungry people in other countries...donate money to ease your conscience.  You could always put a small TV in your kitchen too...
