Philosophical Questions: Help

[ysabetwordsmith]

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

Is it more important to help yourself, help your family, help your society, or help the world?

The world -- because without a world to stand on, you will not have yourself, your family, or your society. At least not within your current life, which will be over.

Also, for idiots arguing that the environment conflicts with the economy -- no. The economy is a subset of the environment. No environment, no economy.

Balance is necessary. Each person should also choose one or more worthy causes to support, and ignore the rest as someone else's responsibility; as you said, nobody can do everything.

But it remains true that without a world to stand on, none of that other stuff is going to continue.
