As a human being I think each of us gets excited about helping ourselves and others to get better with our God-given talents. BUT, what comes with that is the responsibility to do our best with those gifts. I personally believe the people we are trying to help need to be "taught how to fish, not given a fish to simply eat." We cannot fight injustices against others. We need to stand in our shoes and declare that what we are doing in our skin will be the best we can offer.......and that does not mean stealing another's opportunity to stand in his/her shoes to become a better person. It means respecting that another has thoughts, feelings, gripes, abuse done to him/her, successes given to him/her, ......whatever. It's rather complex, yet rather simple. Do what you should be doing to make the planet a better place, or you are just part of the problem.
