armchair charity

with so many evils and injustices in the world, it's really just too much to handle. where do you start?

sure, building homes, helping field workers in disaster area, visiting orphans and the terminally ill, they are nice but that's for people who have a lot more time than me.

i need to taking care of my own business first before i can help others.

i'm better at making money, so i might as well make lots of money first and then donate some of it. (look at warren buffett and bill gates)

i will do it, just not today. as soon as i finish this... and that...

so, in the mean time, i'll just donate a little money. which is nice, of course. and all these are surely valid reasons too.

but is it too much to ask to get up from your armchair once a month? once a season? once a year? perhaps you can start by figuring out where you want to start?
