It is certainly true that those who are not affluent can be concerned with non- relatives, and even those outside the tribe. My main point was that if one is preoccupied with family problems, or problems closer to home, it is hard to have the time, money, or energy to invest in compassion for complete strangers. Having institutional support, or fewer trials (fewer deaths and serious diseases) help to encourage wider concerns.......

"Indeed the very poorest among us often shine the brightest...." You have backup on that point. Mark 12:41-44 (AMP) And He sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury. Many rich people were throwing in large sums. And a widow who was poverty-stricken came and put in two copper mites the smallest of coins, which together make half of a cent. And He called His disciples to Him and said to them, Truly and surely I tell you, this widow, she who is poverty-stricken, has put in more than all those contributing to the treasury. For they all threw in out of their abundance; but she, out of her deep poverty, has put in everything that she had--even all she had on which to live. * * *
