I’ve never talked to a poor person, never spent a day with a homeless guy, so I can’t say if they’re better off. They COULD be better off, since they’re surrounded by such a high standard of living, but if I recall, the reason they’re homeless or poor is often out of their control. They still have to work their butt off to feed themselves or their families, and live under the constant stress of providing for their needs. The only reason they are better off is because there’s more people working to get them food and clothing. And yet even still, some die of perfectly preventable causes. The bottom line here is that both groups are dying of preventable causes, that we have the power to stop. This is why I say it’s better not to find the best cause , but the cause you understand and feel for, without looking at pictures of starving children.
