I remember hearing a lecturer say once that the seven deadly sins can all be brought down to their base which is greed.
Humans are naturally greedy it is a survival trait in us.

One major problem is media causing desensitivity. when we always see all the stories about poverty and malnutrition we start becoming "desensitized" to all of it and sart to think that it is somehow normal and subconsciously think it's ok. we don't feel sick etc. because we get so used to seeing it going on because of the media.
and btw i DO give change to homeless people because I at least care that much.
