If it doesn't harm us, we don't care

There is a lot to cry about, a lot to be mad about and in most cases we can't do much. There are borders and we can't make all happy.
The truth is we are selfish. It's our biggest interest to care for ourselves and the people around us. Thus people don't show much empathy.
It's not about wars only which are on focus recently, it's also about nature. How often have we learnt that global warming is bad, that globalisation has its downs? We don't care because it doesn't hit us now, but maybe in the future which you can't see. Temperature is rising, well polar bears are in danger, but we are fine. It hasn't hit us that hard yet and even if it did, we would have money to build up again unlike poor countries. Those who feel the negative effects are always the poorest. Globalisation has brought many companies profits and also taken advantage of cheap labour. Are we willing to pay fair trade prices?  We admire beautiful countries and love to visit them. Some mostly because it's so cheap. It just doesn't get into my mind why people want to pay local prices and not get ripped off. As if it does matter that you pay a few bucks more. I'm not saying do tip a lot, but pay a little more than locals. You earn more. It's the least you could do.
On the long run, we are living our lives on the shoulders of the poor and don't feel responsible. World has settled to this. The powerful take advantage of the poor. I'm still up for making the world a better place. It's the best I could do.
