An interesting article. Would have loved to see pictures, but oh well. I see that someone has written a book about him (published just a few weeks ago actually, probably hence the article), I might give it a quick read.
The well being of others has no effect on my happiness or quality of life. Therefore, I don't want to diminish my own quality of life by giving to them. I don't care about people not having the same opportunities as those who are more successful.
Don't get me wrong, I like charities for those with disabilities.
Call me selfish, because I am. And I'm not fabulously rich, I'm perfectly middle class; so don't pull that card on me.
It's perfectly fine to look after your own interests rather than others and I don't feel that it is selfish at all but rather, human nature.
I feel that you've misunderstood the movement completely however. Can you explain what you think it represents?
Been keeping up with it since it started, and it's pretty sickening to see the media paint the protest as a bunch of hippies or attempt to dismiss them because they have "no central focus."
