It just likes we feel unhappy but we can't blame others in a rainy day with an umbrella. And I know there is no better alternative to solve this problem.<br /><br />You are very right. From my own experience, people do not need theories and explanations in such case. What they need are care and support.

So we stick with the best that is available, even if it means great occasional personal sacrifice. Advocating otherwise, say socialist welfare, is to descend to the level of robbery. A morally upright person must never stoop so low.<br /><br />As for Moral Sentiments, what Smith actually said was this: If we care more about a cut on our little finger than the loss of life of another person, the inner voice in us will shout out to chastise us. This inner voice is driving you to help your friend in need as you reflect on his situation and imagine the misery and agony you will suffer if you are hit with this kind of misfortune. Deep down, it is self-love, i.e. the urge to be spared of this kind of misery, that drives us to help those who are in destitute.Wai Honghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611384467371821790noreply@blogger.com
