Pretty irrelevant to the discussion, joe. In upholding the dignity of the individual, one cannot merely assert one's own value, for there is no reason for others to recognize it unless it is a universal principle. But if it is a universal principle, then what happens to others matters too, and we have an interest in refraining from harming them, and helping them when it is reasonable to do so. There are limits to reasonable aid, for one's own fate matters too, and because it is possible for the long term effects of some aid to be harmful. But the fact that help must be given prudently does not mean that it is not desirable, and in some cases obligatory, to be helpful. In any case, it has nothing to do with worshipping "we".......
