when i see those adds on tv i feel bad and i want to help but i also feel like if i cannot do it my self then i really cannot help anyone. i give to charities i know well or i give personally and that makes a difference to me.
i also think that people need to help them selves unless they cannot. everyone has problems in their lives mental and physical. i have heard that peoples karma from past lives determine how much suffering you face in this life, but i also think some people induce suffering with out karma.

sounds like you need to make boundaries, like would you help a friend over a stranger? if a friend said they where really hungry to the point of a headache would you buy them a snack to get them by? also if a stranger on the street asked if they could borrow some money to get some food because they are diabetic and there sugar is low would you help them out as much as you would if you knew them?

honestly i have been wondering about the same kind of issue, like i feel neutral about most people but my friends and family. i want to nice and compassionate to everyone but i seem to find it hard.
