Compassion

  People still like to rely on our hearts, or on the aroused heartfelt and kind-hearted or charitable feelings that are projected to us by the confessed hardships of others, the threat and exposure to violence of false and real victims. The heart is guided by the image or promotion of the victims or their confessions and stories, which can be true or imaginary. Our social-compassionate reactions, however, depend on the well-presented story of the alleged victims.

The paradox of the well-presented story of the victim and the reality of real life goes so far in everyday life that we actually recognize starvation even in very well-nourished people or even in obese people, who are such without any disease that would cause bloating or obesity. On the other hand, we recognize a starving or, in colloquial terms, a thin person as someone who is deliberately losing weight, wants to have a model figure, or some other way causes their own underweight. It is difficult to leave it to doctors to assess the severity of starvation and/or the consequences of hunger. 

A similar case is with victims of violent acts. Violent acts very often leave behind bruises, swelling, damaged skin or even injuries to the skeleton or bones of the body. These consequences of violent acts of alleged victims of violent acts should also be assessed and assessed by doctors. 

The case is different with social vulnerability and poverty in general, because in modern social society we have invented social centers with the purpose of professionally assessing the event census, which is necessary at least for basic survival. We should also turn to them in the event of natural and other disasters and obtain immediate emergency assistance. 

We also still know about humanitarian organizations, although they are supposedly redundant in modern social societies, since the state itself with its institutions takes care of at least the basic necessities of life. Thus, humanitarian actions are supposed to be carried out mainly abroad. We EU citizens are left with an empty vacuum in the event of a life-threatening situation, as shown by the floods and fires across the European area. At that time, many people experienced a real shock of social sense and compassion for their fellow man, when they felt the indifference of social institutions and humanitarian organizations in particular. The first to come to the rescue were fellow citizens, at least with drinking water or some old clothes, and only then did the so-called governmental and non-governmental humanitarian organizations come to the rescue. The immediate aid packages, however, probably remained bureaucratically in warehouses until the victims of natural disasters had arranged all the necessary applications or papers for the allocation of aid, which was then even officially recognized. You could even be lucky if, unlike migrants, you were transported to safety. Such bureaucratic understandings of humanitarian aid and judgment are difficult to encounter when helping foreign citizens or countries outside the European area. You will very rarely find identity cards for humanitarian aid. Usually, in practice, the old saying goes "First come, first served".

We can probably also think about any European migrations to other countries that would offer us refuge and at least a minimum standard of living.

The debate about helping others and being left to our own devices or the vacuum of social sense for fellow citizens will most likely be even more relevant given the increasing risk of natural disasters and also the threat of war in the European area. At least, this is what the instructions on being left to our own devices for 72 hours and/or our ability to survive, if the European area is attacked, show. European citizens should also provide themselves with a basic survival package in the event of a military attack from their own resources.
