The Sorry State We Are In

I read this opinion article the morning after I heard about this from my mother. She recounted the news story from ABS-CBN about this scavenger who brought home lechon and fed it to his family only to loose two of his children to food poisoning.

While there were a lot of people willing to help the man after the tragedy that befell his family, there were no helping hands when he had nothing to feed his children. How eager we are to help those befallen with tragedy when we always turn our backs to the very same people if they ask us for help. Tell me, how much more cruel can we get?
