How Selfish Should We Be?
We are privileged to live in a country where we have freedom, abundant food and affordable medical care. If you make more than $42,000 Canadian per year, then you are in the global 1% - one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Are we obligated by our position of wealth and good fortune to help others who by dint of bad luck were not born with the opportunities that we were? How should we balance our own desire to live our lives and fit in to society against the harm that our choices cause, and the opportunities that we have to improve living conditions for others?
