My cynical nature over charities and donations

[oldschoolfool]

I have never donated to anything and I have never done any charity work. I don't feel the need to. Disaster's happen all the time. There's also thousand's of needy cause's and people in the world. Am,I suppose to break down and cry,everytime an unfortunate disaster happens? I mean you have the the japan disaster,then you had the hati disaster. There was also hurricane katrina. You also have the struggles in Africa. There's also all of these children's chairites,they always advertise on T.V. There always about poor children in third world countries. Then there's your disease and hunger charities and the salvation army. I'm not a rich person,so I don't think my couple of dollars are really going to make that much of a differnce. There's also no way to tell,how much of that money is actually going to people in need. I'm so cynical,I'd rather give people money,that really need it;myself. They can say that it all goes to the needy,but I just don't trust them. It's probably %95 overhead for all I know. Am,I suppose to stop living life and cry everyday and run to a corner,when something tragic happens? Don't get me wrong disaster's,the hungry,the needy,the homeless,the sick and the poor children of the world is sad and tragic,but I really don't think a few dollars and maybe alittle volunteer work is really going to make that much of an impact. It's a crazy and tragic world that we live in these days,but one can't save the world.
