The Haitian earthquake happened earlier this year in January. Larry King of CNN celebrities like Jennifer lopez, diddy, Ben stiller on his show. They were all there to raise money for the Haitian victims.
Before the earthquake, everybody mama knew that Haiti was an improverished nation? Not many people donated as they donated after the earthquake now? There were ten thousand humanitarian aid agencies in Haiti before the earthquake yet, Haiti was still a poverty stricken nation.
So what should the people living in poverty-stricken nations such as Darfur, Sudan and Congo do? I suggest that they start praying for their own natural disaster. The world will only come to their rescue if a natural disaster nearly wipes out everybody in city. Why did it have to take the death of a hundred thousand people before the international community paid attention?
I came across this quote by Martin Luther King which states, ""A man who won't die for something is not fit to live." I struggled with this quote because I was wondering what if the something that is worth dying for is also worth killing for? What then would be the right cause of action?
Are there no good causes that are worth killing as well as dying for? Consider the Islamic extremists/terrorists, most of them are willing to die for whatever cause they are fighting for, but they also feel that that cause is worth killing for as well. And there have been numerous times in history where killing innocent people was seen as worthy enough because the cause was that important.
