Until we take care of the homeless and mentally unwell we have failed as a society.

Disagree. It's not my responsability to take of degenerates often drug addicts. They are where they are because of thousands of consecutive bad choices.

None of my corn will ever go towards these people.

I will use my ressources to take care of my family and close ones

Sure, that’s your choice. I feel differently. We are all one step away from their position often

"you" feel differently - exactly. You can speak for yourself. Individual. Society has no mind or responsibility.

I am speaking for myself.

True!

The measure of society is how it treats the weakest members.

Society is imaginary

Fair enough, but the homeless and mentally unwell are not

They are also a symptom of how we have been behaving as a society where people have also become throw aways.

The WEF has spoken about how we need to make progress. Always progress over people. What kind of humanity do we have if you leave people behind? Considering who and what we are, we should not be prioritising things over people.

Who is we?

You and I

I have to look after the homeless to not be a failure in your eyes?

Arman you’ re not a failure in my eyes 😉. It was a general comment about society’s priorities.

I know, but I'm pushing back on it out of interest, trying to point out that society is just individuals, and ethically speaking, none of them have responsibilities to sacrifice their own well being for others - instead, they might do so because they choose to.

I doubt very much they chose to, more likely mistakes, abuse, mental breakdowns, addictions etc
