"The" Question

The most powerful part to the articles to me is the end of the first article. That question that many people bring up, why in the shuffling of the soul deck was mine placed in the united states of america into an affluent white family. Thinking about this too much makes my brain hurt so i won't try to put it down into words but i will explain what effect the question has on me. I have a duty. When i am at all able, in the time i don't divide between school, my job, and other activities i have something else to be doing. That is to find whatever way i can to help the problems in our world. It is too too unfortunate for these people simply to be born into a place where they dont have any chance to change their life, they simply don't have food growing up. The world is already scary enough growing up, realizing how big it is and all the bad things in it but to be starving at the same time is tragic. Because of this i feel an innate sense of responsibility that i should be doing something, anything whenever i can. This ranges from donating money to donating my time to just learning more about the problem so i can better explain it to others so they can help solve it as well. My point to all this is that everyone in good condition should find time to do this, i truly believe this is our human ethical and moral duty to others as it is said that the right to food is a natural human right.
