I'm not going to secure government benefits for someone when my paycheck can take my parents off government benefits.
You talk about helping people in Third World countries. I call them cousins. I know them by name. You go there for the summer. My parents send their meager earnings monthly, sustaining Third World families for over a decade.
So don't talk to me about how many hours you logged this semester. Don't talk to me about your philanthropic efforts. See, because on the other side, others just like you, talk about how people like me live on handouts...
so when we try to lift ourselves
when we try to play the game according to your rules
when we make it so that we won't need your philanthropy
don't shoot us down for not being as altruistic as you.
forgive us
for our selfishness.
