I have had that same comment form different Europeans, and it is probably just a first comment from those of us living in more financially privledged countries than others, without thinking deeper. We all should think (and act) deeper, no matter what the help we feel compelled to do is. However financially-priveldged societies may not be more love-privildged than those in poorer communities. In fact we have tendencies to have a love for money, influenced by our surroundings. Love for our neightbors is the most important, and the more we give there more there is. Vero Hi y’all,

Very ignorant stance for one of the youngest nations in the world. I have been thinking lately of the same things, and have been trying to go thru my taught traditions and weed out the sketchy stuff. good post!
