one dies, million cry - million die, no one cry - WHY?

agree or not?

 

There is no easy answer for that one. Why do people dying of starvation keep having so many babies?

 

how about their resources being stolen and pushing them into unnecessary wars??

 

yah i agree with you "newsupdateS" that is the biggest problem of our planet. we spend trillion of dollar every year on Defense and war but not spend just one cent to help poor peoples.

 

I agree with the fact..iF Every people in the world show mentality to help poor peoples then that problem will be solved..

 

One word: Contribution.

 

people respect only those who have achieved something in life. Others are for them worthless.

 

Leadership - Every child born learns what they and believes what they learn.
It's a cycle that never ends if the Leader does nothing.

Brilliantly talented and creative children grow up thinking they're not.
Would Steve Jobs be any different if he was born under those same conditions?

Would any of us?

 

emotions > logic for most people

 

I Agree to "The Webby" it's the CONTRIBUTION... Steve Jobs urges us to Think Different

 

What was the old saying?

If one person dies its a tragedy. If a million people die it's a statistic.

 

Hmm, what group is actively stopping food aid in Somalia and forcing refugees back to famine areas? Why don't you actually get off your ass and protest Shabab?

Not as much fun as complaining about the US I guess. Easier to make stupid graphic for webmaster forum than actually protest evil.

 

Yes, that's very true. He knew he was dying even before he gave that speech at Stanford in 2005.
He had no fear of dying which is why he had no fear of living. If you've got nothing to die for, you've
got nothing to live for either. He lived a remarkable life without fear which allowed him the freedom to "Think Different"

...but what if he was born into one of those starving Countries? What then?

 

Emotion, I'd say.

Many people die everyday all around the world. Why aren't we crying everyday for them? That's cause we don't know them - we don't feel any attachment to them. We may feel sadness, grief or even jerk a tear to the ones we see in the news but that's just that.

Steve Jobs was different since he became a household name and every Apple product owner out there has become somewhat attached to him. He was crazy enough to think that he could change the world and, he actually did.

 

It's the same reason people cried a river and didn't go to work when Michael Jackson died.

Familiarity, sense of being alike through their work, etc. Though when millions die we don't know their names, their backgrounds, nothing. Just that they died. And because it's unfortunately a part of life, we've become desensitized to knowing that others have perished.

Basically what Grimm up there said.

It's sad when anyone we deem 'good' dies. Just you wait until Oprah goes.

 

"The death of one person is a tradgedy, the death of millions is a statistic" This phrase is attributed to Stalin. Yours is a reformulation of it.

 

the answer because too many have died so no more tears to weep.

 

Oprah's network is dying and nobody seems to care.

 

I have asked the same question before. I feel, these people don't have education, which would lead them into making unwise decisions.
