I like that perspective, I think that's wise.

Looking out for your fellow neighbor is something modern man has forgotten. I hope I can one day make Venezuelans remember that.

Something I have learned is that for many, morality is a luxury. As soon as times get tough, lessons like those go out the window in lieu of short-term survival, and everyone is worse off for it. I'm seeing the same pattern in the US.

It's easier to be neighborly when things are going great, I guess. It makes sense on a certain level, but it also has a lot of consequences.
