So I was thinking . . .

It irks me when people consider injustice and poverty as subordinate issues or issues that only liberals care about. Contrary to people's assumptions, I truly would not consider myself uber liberal (well, maybe when it comes to the environment). However, certain people seem to assume that I'm a liberal - contaminated by the media and socialist propaganda - because I fervently oppose injustice and become saddened by poverty. So be it. Honestly, I probably do lean a little more to the left.

Why/how did such issues get polluted and politicized by society? It is perfectly reasonable and humane to feel empathy for those who are ostracized, oppressed, raped, abused. It is absolutely illogical and barbaric to ignore or feel nothing when seeing or hearing of such atrocities happening to our brothers and sisters of the human race.

Benevolence is growing extinct. Humanity is a dying race.

How can we not care? The state of humanity ought to be the concern of all people simply because we are all human.
