Are we supposed to feel compassion about some very priviledged and very lucky individuals when 12% of India's 1.4 Billion people is below the poverty line of $2

Are we supposed to feel compassion about some very priviledged and very lucky individuals when 12% of India's 1.4 Billion people is below the poverty line of $2.15 a day ?
That's $784 a year. They probably saved that amount each week working in the US.

- 4gotunameagain 3y agoSee the key here is that I do not buy that they are "suffering". They are just in a less priviledged position than before. They are still very wealthy and priviledged individuals with great professional prospects in India. Allow me to prioritise my compassion list, and put them at the bottom, in the name of the hundreds of millions that are literaly hungry.
