But is obvious this world is sick,
Not all of it. My bit is pretty great. Family, friends, no real financial concerns.

So while bits of the world may be sick, the bit I live in a pretty great. I wonder how that happened.

But you are 'selfish' if you don't see the world around you and acknwoledge and have pity on the human suffering that is going on.

Well, I’m my own judge. And I’ve done nothing evil in my life so there’s that too.
Yes of course, if you're own judge then definitely you done nothing evil....

I'm grateful for my 'bit' too, i'm not rich but i don't need it either, always had family and health.
My point was that one should not assume that because one feels their bit of the world is pretty good one doesn't have pity for those parts that are less than good.

It’s lucky then that I’m very aware of how lucky I have been to have been born in my country and have been able to take advantage of the opportunities my accident of birth has given me.

Yes, we can think we are not doing wrong but is our actions or motives is what is count. Our actions comes from the heart, so that is what Proverbs 21:2 is about

Proverbs 4:24...above all else, guard your hearts with all diligence, for everything you do flows from it...

When that was written they didn't know that the brain was responsible for our actions not our heart.

Speaking of suffering and the topic of this thread, there is a lot of suffreing in the UK too, most created by man, it not has to be like starving children etc. imagine a world people are just to each other and helps, don't cheat, don't lie, don't compete in a unfair way, and don't have hate, selfishness etc etc, that world doesn't exists because man has a tendency to do wrong.

So you believe that god watches unspeakable evil and does nothing about it?

You mean God didn't know the things He created in terms of their functions But man can?
The bible teaches man with spiritual realities with spiritual taught words 1Corinthians 2:13...
So the heart spiritual function is what is explained in the verse i quoted (Proverbs 4:24).
