Socializing last night- it came up about how much will America send to assist the earthquake-devastated people of Chile and whether we can truly afford to assist every nation that suffers a terrible disaster.
My reply what what I feel in that heart of hearts- as Americans- no- as fellow Human Beings- we ALWAYS have a moral obligation to help others out of situations inflicted upon them.
One should NEVER put a dollar figure on the price of compassion for- if nothing else- remember that except for the grace of God go I.
Who are we to judge?
It's easy to be hard. Been that- done there.
Helping those in need serves yourself and the community of Man (yes- the Kingdom of God too- if you will).
The only question of compassion should not be asking HOW MUCH but HOW can one can help- without conditions and expectations of reciprocation.
It's (not just) the American way since we've been here- and it IS the morally right way....
