We must question the desire to help
"We must question the desire to help"

"Notre-Dame is on fire and after the six hours is over a billion dollars on the table. Help came quickly, when, too often, comes too late."

"Cards later on capriciously the debate. The grief becomes anger, and the discussion around how the rich use their money is burning freely in social media just in time to fire in Paris are switched off."

"For money, and the commitment of, is obviously there. "

"the only Question is what will make us want to use it? And how do we really material things to life?"

"That money saves lives is nothing new. 2010 started miljardärerna Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's ”The giving pledge”. The promise, which means that more than half of the signature miljardärens fortune will be donated to charity, is not legally binding but should be seen more as a ”moral commitment”. "

"today has 190 billionaires from 22 countries have signed the decision. But the promise still involves a choice. Who, or what, to be helped – and when – is up to the dealer itself. And maybe it is exactly what we must question. The freedom of choice, with us people, when it comes to economic and social engagement. "

"For everything, there is obviously there, but what is it that gets us to actually act?"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but in a time where we have the highest number of channels that show commitment to society has started to feel avdomnat. We are shocked, no longer by natural disasters or terrorist attacks. It is like we have seen so much of the tragedies, it no longer arouses shock that results in action."

"But it was a long time ago a church was burnt."

"An irish media website wrote, in conjunction with the fire, that the failure here is that we do not see all of the acute emergencies that are around us every day. “Stone and glass may burn, but they bleed not, they starve, and they do not suffer,” wrote the journalist and pointed out that the suffering that is every day no longer lights up the pages of newspapers. Inspires not by the rich donations. Does not inspire our. For they are there, all the time."

"In the middle of the march, killed by a cyclone, hundreds of people and left over 1.5 million people homeless in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Charities bönade and asked for help. We do not know how the donations, speaking out, but five weeks later they ask still. The help can come quickly, it has not come fast enough. So what makes us want to use the money, Instagram accounts, the collective responsibility?"

"If it's not human life, what is it?"

"I ask people on Instagram how they look at the donations. One person writes that ”it is easier to donate to a church for that the result is immediately visible”. Many write that it is ”sick” and ”sad”. Some argue that it is a PR coup from the company that otherwise do not bother. The majority are on the same track. In comparison with human life becomes a commitment to a church is absurd."

"I think it is quite scary, and alarming. It shows in some way how little people care. It is a verklighetscheck. Material things is prior to humanity,” writes two persons."

"Fire in the Notre-Dame is a tragedy. The church will, and should, be rebuilt. But the fire brought the perspectives. There is more that should be rebuilt. Perhaps this is our human commitment to one of them."

"For the obvious is still there."

"What we are doing with our money, it is our own decision. We are free to donate money to what we want, regardless of what income we have. We are free to bother us, economically and socially, of exactly what we want – regardless of who we are."

"And maybe it is a problem, after all."

"That we can pick and choose away."

"there are also victims in the tragedy."
