Actually there is this funny little saying, "And why do you contemplate the splinter of wood in the eye of your brother and do not put your mind upon the log in your own eye?"
It has to do with you as person and your character flaws, not about the plight of your people vs that of others. It DOES NOT imply that one should not be able to care about both your own people and other people. In fact, that would just be silly and frankly, callus. Why do you insert the 'versus' in there?
need I say more....A little hypocritical if you ask me....
Please do say more, because I can't see a logical or emotional justification for such a stance. I can't see ANY hypocrisy in a stance where you care about more than exclusively yourself and your own.
You can do some thing about your backyard at least, saying you care about some one else's plight does not exactly give you moral high ground either.
It sounds like you are implying that caring about others can only be done as an attempt to win some kind of juvenile moral high ground. If not, why do you automatically infer this. Can a person not care about others simply because they are caring people and not because they are trying to feed their egos?
Doing some thing about it, by not buying a brand still isn't magic carebear rainbows either, caring in this matter would mean going to you local importer and getting them to blacklist them.
So now she is not doing
enough? To
really care she has to meet your standard of doing enough, otherwise she is just being hypocritical? Again, that doesn't make any kind of logical or emotional sense.
